Can the government really win back farmers' trust in 2026? Or is it a bridge too far?

Defra secretary Emma Reynolds uses the Oxford Farming Conference to set out her vision for the relaunched Sustainable Farming Incentive.

After the Treasury's partial climbdown on inheritance tax, should we continue campaigning for further concessions?

And we take a look at the New Year Honours for farming.

This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker, Louise Impey and Hugh Broom.
