AHDB podcasts

Listen to farmers, special guests and AHDB specialists share their experiences and opinions, technical information, data, market intelligence, updates on exports, and the latest issues that impact your business. Agonomics explores stories behind the numbers from the world of agriculture. 

The results from this year's Planting and Variety Survey are revealed as Charlotte, Hannah and Tom are joined by AHDB Senior Analyst Helen Plant to discuss them in more detail.

We also hear what happened when 28 buyers from across the globe took part in our biggest ever inward mission for the red meat sector.

With sheep and arable farmer Rebecca Wilson taking the reins of the show, Graham also answers a number of questions submitted by levy payers ranging from assurance schemes to the levy itself.

We bring you some of the highlights from the British Pig & Poultry Fair that took place at the NEC in May, where contingency planning for African swine fever (ASF) was among the topics of AHDB's theatre sessions.

Reporter Martin Winch catches up with our Head of Animal Health and Welfare, Dr Mandy Nevel, to talk more about ASF, as well as getting word from recently appointed Pork Sector Council Chair Glen Nimmo, and Head of Education, Roz Reynolds.

We mark 80 years of the Recommended Lists for cereals and oilseeds (RL) which has been delivering trusted, independent variety information since 1944.

Join presenter Carolyn Smith for a potted history, with contributions from some of those who have helped shape the RL, and others who have relied on the guide.

David Eudall turns his attention to the bluetongue virus which poses a big threat to the beef, lamb and dairy sectors. He's joined by AHDB colleagues to learn more about the Battle Bluetongue campaign as well as a vaccine finance calculator that can help farmers work out what they'll spend or save defending their stock.
