Farmers Weekly Podcast Ep 308: Cereals 2026 at Clarkson’s Farm
© Tim Scrivener This live Cereals 2026 episode tackles one big question: with high input costs and mediocre grain prices, will planting cereals this autumn be financially worthwhile?
The discussion starts with markets and margins, including breakeven wheat prices, grain carryover, milling wheat premiums, and the risks of holding out for higher prices.

Part two looks at how growers can reduce risk through variety choice, BYDV resistance, hybrid wheat, yellow rust resilience and AHDB decision-support tools.
Finally, we asks whether the public and politicians really understand farming — and how Clarkson’s Farm has changed the conversation about food security and farm profitability.
