  • Farm succession, making sneakers from animal hides, British Cattle Breeding Club and a cowboy hat
    Jan 28 2026

    Ever wondered what really happens when you start handing over the family farm to the next generation? That’s exactly what Lisa Edwards is navigating on her cereals and potato farm up in Lancashire - and she’s spilling all in this episode of The AG Show as we dive back into the world of succession planning.

    Fancy making your own trainers? Yep, actual trainers. We meet the Wiltshire farmer turning cow hides into a hands-on sneaker‑making workshop.

    And have you ever been to the British Cattle Breeding Club Conference? No worries if not - Hannah’s got you covered with the inside scoop on what went down and what headwear was spotted.

    Oh, and Charlotte's got a new sofa don't you know?!

  • Let's Eat Balanced, promoting milk, succession planning and cattle genetics
    Jan 21 2026

    The AG Show dives into how red meat and dairy are being pushed in the Let’s Eat Balanced campaign - and we take a closer look at whether all that marketing magic could actually give milk prices a boost.

    We’re also asking one of farming’s biggest questions: how on earth do you pass a farm on to the next generation? This episode kicks off the first of our two‑parter on the sometimes‑messy, always‑important world of succession planning.

    And finally… tissues at the ready. As we say goodbye to presenter Tom, we send him off with a proper brain‑bender: cattle genetics. Naturally, he’s calling in the F.I.E.L.D. Agents for backup — because let’s be honest, even the acronyms need decoding.

  • Farm data, Oxford Farming Conference, Christmas results and learning to lamb
    Jan 14 2026

    Farm data – what’s the deal? Who’s using it, and can you really trust the folks looking after it? This week on The AG Show, we dive into the topic that’s becoming a big deal for farming.

    We’ll take a quick look back at how our red meats stacked up over Christmas, and then look ahead to what’s on the NSA’s Lambing List.

    Oh, and guess what? F.I.E.L.D. Agents are back – fighting rural crimes against plain English (because jargon is so last season).
