Ag Watchers X: Market Moves That Matter to Your Farm
Tariffs are reshaping export markets. Geopolitical tension is pushing input costs around. And your harvest timing just got more complicated.
In this ma...
Forget the ideology. Australian farmers don't need to believe in climate change to care about one thing: their bottom line. This week on AgWatchers, Matt and Andrew explore how practical farmers are cutting costs and creating new income streams through energy solutions and why skepticism is actually the smart approach.
Veteran economist Saul Eslake joins Matt and Andrew to unpack tariffs, free trade and the increasingly difficult position Australia occupies between the United States and China.
They discuss why tariffs are ultimately paid by consumers, whether Australia can still trust its major trading partners, the need to diversify agricultural export markets and what weaker Chinese growth could...

Jo Hall, CEO of WoolProducers Australia, joins the podcast to discuss efforts to diversify Australian wool exports beyond China, including emerging opportunities in Bangladesh, India and Vietnam.

Plus, Pearl Jam, Dhaka’s textile factories and wandering elephants.
Tim Neale from DataFarming joins AgWatchers for a wide-ranging chat on where ag technology is heading next. The big question: what happens when grain farmers stop thinking only in paddocks and start managing crops square metre by square metre?
Tim talks through the next evolution in precision agriculture, from satellite imagery and variable rate fertiliser to robotics, AI, autonomou...
This episode breaks down how the Middle East conflict, US-China tensions, and extreme weather are reshaping Australian red meat exports. Sheep meat is bouncing back. Cattle prices are holding firm despite softening. And supply chain disruptions may be opening doors most producers haven't spotted yet.
This week on AgWatchersX, Matt and Andrew cover a fairly hectic mix of global politics, red meat trade and football hope.
The pair unpack the end of the Iran conflict and what calmer conditions in the Middle East could mean for markets, before turning to China where Australia’s beef quota appears to have been unofficially filled, raising fresh questions about trade flows, pricing and where product goes next.
They also look at...
In this episode of AgWatchers, we speak with Mark Been from Marnco, our first fertiliser industry guest in more than 300 episodes.
The conversation starts with the immediate question facing growers: what is really happening in the fertiliser market? While urea supply concerns have eased after Australia moved early to secure product, Mark argues that the market is far from settled. Prices have fallen from their peak, India’s t...
Andrew and Matt are joined by Sian Fenner, Senior Economist at Westpac, for a wide-ranging discussion on the Australian economic outlook.
Topics covered:
Shannon Beattie, founder of Bush and Beyond Media, joins Ag Watchers to talk all things agricultural communication, storytelling and media.
The conversation covers the difference between communications and marketing, why authenticity matters more than ever, and how agricultural industries can turn complex research, policy and technical information into messages people actually want to hear.
Shannon also shares her views on presenta...
We cover off on the big news in grains, fert and livestock.
We are back for another AgWatchersX. This week we will be covering off on the tentitive peace in the middle east. We give our views on future grain prices, fert for next year, Chinese beef tariffs, the weather in Australia and a whole lot more.
On this episode of the AgWatchers Podcast, we’re joined by Julie Collins to unpack the forces shaping Australian agriculture. From Canberra to the Middle East, we explore how geopolitical tensions are influencing fuel, fertiliser and food production and why events unfolding thousands of kilometres away are being felt at the farm gate.
As instability in the Middle East rattles global energy markets, Australian producers are on...
We have a chat with Melinda Hashimoto, CEO of Egg Farmers of Australia. In this podcast, we talk about a wide range of issues from biosecurity to Japanese raw eggs.
We have a chat with Lola Rauch, who works for the German Ag Society, who is now working in Australia to bring an offshoot of the famous Agritechnica conference to Australia - the future ag expo in Melbourne in July.
Will we run out of fuel? will we need horses for harvest? What about our urea supply? Are people stockpiling? We have Rebecca Reardon, Vice President of the NSW Farmers organisation, and Samuel Miller, lead economist for NSW Farmers, on the podcast to have a chat about the response from NSW Farmers to the current crisis impacting our farming inputs.
Food is one of our favourite topics. The two of us love to go out and eat a good meal, and meat is usually the centre point. We invited Professor Peter McGilchrist onto the podcast to talk about what makes meat so great to eat. We talk about the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that drive the taste of meat.
