In this episode we look at the future of the Sustainable Farming Incentive agri-environment scheme.

Natural England head of agriculture Peter Craven tells us the scheme will return – and be better for farming and the environment, albeit with a likely smaller budget.

We assess the impact of the UK-US trade deal on the beef and arable sectors – and ask whether it is the shape of things to come?

MPs debate the future for Britain's small abattoirs – which are often a lifeline for smaller livestock producers serving higher-value niche markets.

And, as the silage season hots up, we talk to safety campaigner Jane Gurney about the latest trailer advice on the road and in the field.

A wealth of safety advice and daily checks can be downloaded from the Tilly Pass website. Please download the Head to Tow app mentioned in this episode.
