Farmers Weekly Podcast Ep 295: Iran war impact on UK fertiliser and fuel

As war spreads across the Middle East, we look at the implications for UK farmers – including the impact on fertiliser, fuel and food security. 

In a volatile market, we examine the latest information on prices and availability – and what you can do to secure vital farm inputs.
