  • Let's Eat Balanced, promoting milk, succession planning and cattle genetics
    Jan 21 2026

    The AG Show dives into how red meat and dairy are being pushed in the Let’s Eat Balanced campaign - and we take a closer look at whether all that marketing magic could actually give milk prices a boost.

    We’re also asking one of farming’s biggest questions: how on earth do you pass a farm on to the next generation? This episode kicks off the first of our two‑parter on the sometimes‑messy, always‑important world of succession planning.

    And finally… tissues at the ready. As we say goodbye to presenter Tom, we send him off with a proper brain‑bender: cattle genetics. Naturally, he’s calling in the F.I.E.L.D. Agents for backup — because let’s be honest, even the acronyms need decoding.

  • Farm data, Oxford Farming Conference, Christmas results and learning to lamb
    Jan 14 2026

    Farm data – what’s the deal? Who’s using it, and can you really trust the folks looking after it? This week on The AG Show, we dive into the topic that’s becoming a big deal for farming.

    We’ll take a quick look back at how our red meats stacked up over Christmas, and then look ahead to what’s on the NSA’s Lambing List.

    Oh, and guess what? F.I.E.L.D. Agents are back – fighting rural crimes against plain English (because jargon is so last season).

  • Consumer health trends, the impact of GLP-1 drugs and connecting classrooms with farmers
    Jan 7 2026

    As we roll into the new year, The AG Show is diving into the latest trends shaping how health‑conscious consumers are eating. From the rise of high‑protein and high‑fibre everything, to the buzz around weight‑loss jabs and supplements, AHDB’s consumer guru Vanessa Adamson and nutrition and health top bod Kate Arthur help us make sense of it all. They join Charlotte, Hannah and Tom to unpack what these shifts could mean for our plates -and our farmers.

    Plus, Farmer Tom is back! He’s giving us an update on his Farmer Time charity and how it’s reconnecting kids with the fields and farms where their food begins.
