About this listen

In our exciting re-launch episode, we chat with Hutchinson's head of environmental services, Georgina Whalley, who gives us an update on the recently scrapped Sustainable Farming Incentive funding and an insight into the latest spending budget. We then head to NIAB's soil hole, where chief executive, Prof Mario Caccamo, discusses the importance of independent variety selection.

With changing legislation and environmental pressures, plant breeding programs are crucial for future developments. Dr Alex Doering, managing director of DSV UK, talks us through the OSR breeding programs and what exciting new traits are on offer.

Finally, we catch up with RAGT's Andrew Creasy and Senova's Hugh Harley, who walk us through a new farm-saved seed royalty collection service and a new Group 4 wheat variety.
