Young shepherdess Zoe Prest joins The AG Show to tell us how she found her way into farming and where her love of sheep began. Coming into agriculture as an outsider, Zoe shares what’s kept her hooked and what the industry can do to inspire, train and keep the next generation.

We’re also heading back to SIAL in Paris, catching up with more of the people who were there as AHDB helped put British red meat and dairy firmly on the international menu.

Plus, we uncover a slightly embarrassing secret... which presenter can’t ride a bike?

This week on The AG Show, we're getting a flavour of one of the biggest food and drink events in the world. We hear what went down at SIAL in Paris, where British red meat was front and centre as we showcased the fantastic work being done by levy payers on the international stage.

With Bonfire Night just around the corner, we also catch up with RSPCA Assured for some practical tips on helping keep livestock calm and comfortable when the fireworks start popping.

Plus, there's a new push to get more active students enjoying the benefits of dairy, and we find out what's behind the campaign.

And perhaps most importantly... just what have Phil's wife and Charlotte been chatting about?

There’s no handbook for tackling some of farming’s biggest conversations. Whether it’s succession, family dynamics or making plans for the future, knowing where to start can be half the battle.

This week, Amy Hughes joins us to chat about how farming families can create the time and space for those important discussions. From communicating better to making big decisions together, Amy shares practical tips to help get everyone around the same table and moving in the same direction.

Plus, we revisit our brilliant conversation with Derek Banbury and Derek Gow as the documentary Derek vs Derek arrives on the big screen and sparks fresh debate around rewilding and life in the countryside.
