Download 18/08/2025: Crop prices, frozen trees, the UK salad industry
Could a tough autumn lie ahead for UK arable farmers after 3 difficult years in a row? Sliding prices, difficult weather conditions, and a range of pressures have led to low confidence. The National Farmers Union's Combinable Crops Board chair tells us he's heard from once forward-looking farmers now considering their exit strategy. One factor causing concern is the Government's decision last week not to put forward a rescue package for the UK bioethanol, green fuel, industry.
Also in the programme, how freezing trees could make it possible to plant in Summer and we begin a week long look at the UK salad industry.
