Farmers Weekly Podcast Ep 307: Carbon cash delays and farm assurance
© Tim Scrivener This week, farmers report delays receiving payments from soil carbon scheme Agreena – with some growers saying they are owed thousands of pounds.
We examine the latest Farm Assurance Review and ask whether Red Tractor and other schemes can deliver fairer treatment for UK grain producers facing competition from unassured imports.
We review Harvest, the new book by former NFU president Baroness Minette Batters.
