  • Red meat and dairy exports - how is the Iran war impacting trade? Plus, what farmers are planting
    Apr 15 2026

    The AG Show team dives into the world of red meat and dairy exports, finding out how AHDB helps open doors to new markets and keep vital trade routes moving. With the Iran war in the spotlight, we also hear how business across the Middle East is being affected.

    There’s a shout-out to cereal and oilseed rape growers across the UK to take part in the annual Planting and Variety Survey, helping build an early picture of what this year’s harvest could look like.

    Plus, find out who’s been granted permission to drive a flock of sheep across a bridge in London.

  • Forage for knowledge of grass growth and educating school children about farming
    Apr 8 2026

    It’s back to the classroom for The AG Show team as we dive into regional grass growth and how the industry is helping kids better understand where their food actually comes from.

    We kick things off with Forage for Knowledge, a handy tool supporting farmers with grassland management - and with the help of a brand new F.I.E.L.D. Agent, we find out exactly what it brings to the table.

    We also catch up with LEAF to hear how they’re teaming up with AHDB to make sure students get the full picture when it comes to sustainable, responsible farming.

    Oh - and we discover who’s planning to swap wellies for cowboy spurs with a horse‑riding honeymoon on the cards.

  • Learning from Danish dairy farmers and tracking weekly fertiliser prices
    Apr 1 2026

    The AG Show is going full continental this week! We’re joined by a couple of our dairy farmers who’ve just landed back from an AHDB study tour in Denmark. They’ve come home buzzing with fresh ideas from one of the most forward‑thinking dairy industries out there… although it seems someone completely missed the memo about bringing back Danish pastries.

    We’re also digging into how farmers and broadcasters are leaning on AHDB to make sense of how the conflict in the Middle East is hitting agriculture and food production. There’s even a brand‑new weekly fertiliser price tracker to help keep everyone in the loop.

    And finally, did Hannah get grilled by her parents for daring to step into the kitchen wearing her wellies while farm‑sitting? You’ll have to listen in to find out…
