AHDB's Charlotte Forkes-Rees, Hannah Clarke and Tom Spencer examine the stories behind the numbers from the world of agriculture. As agri-food markets become more uncertain, driven by changing weather, geopolitics, energy costs and changing consumer demands, the team are joined by colleagues to track the latest trends and explain what it all means for our levy payer businesses. And what impact it has on consumers. Each week the trio throw the spotlight on at least one sector, with the focus shared between arable, dairy, pork, beef and lamb as well as the wider farming industry. These sectors are ruled by the forces of economics and supply and demand which is why this podcast combines AGriculture and ecONOMICS. Given commodity markets, their multi-annual cycles and key inputs continue to evolve, the hosts draw on their extensive expertise to offer insight to help farmers and supply chains alike navigate the volatility and capitalise on opportunities.

  • 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…

  • Could harvesting rainwater on farm be a game changer? Plus AHDB engagement and plant-based food labelling
    Mar 25 2026

    From roof to resource - The AG Show is teaming up with a project across nine farms in Cumbria that’s helping farmers kit out their buildings to collect and reuse rainwater. AHDB’s Beef and Lamb Engagement Manager for the North West, Karl Pendlebury, pops by to chat about what it’s all about.

    Good job Karl’s on hand too, because Hannah’s attempts to join live from her parents’ calving shed are… well, let’s just say temperamental! Karl also talks about his role working directly with farmers - something our Chair, Emily Norton, recently dug into on the Meet the Farmers - The Big Debate podcast.

    And Charlotte’s got the latest from the EU, where plant‑based foods might soon be banned from using labels like "fillet" or "bacon".
