Crop it Like it's Hot: Discussing 2025 arable news and views, policy changes and machinery trends

2025: the one where it didn't rain for months, we lost a major yellow rust resistance gene, SFI's were abruptly halted, and UK tractor sales tanked.

It has been a challenging year, but where there is challenge, there comes opportunity for change.

Join Ash, Toby and Jane as they chat all things arable, policy and machinery - while uncovering positives among the negatives as we round up 2025 in our final arable podcast offering.

Speakers:

Ash Ellwood - head of arable

Toby Whatley - head of machinery and farm technology

Jane Thynne - head of news and business
