Ever wondered what happens to a sheep’s fleece after shearing? Turns out, it’s not just for jumpers. The AG Show team caught up with a farmer who’s breaking new ground by turning wool into ropes on a commercial scale - and get this, they’re apparently brilliant for harvesting seaweed. Who knew?

They also dive into the latest push from AHDB to champion British pork. So don’t be surprised if you spot a new ad popping up during the break of the latest Ant & Dec show - we’re really going for it.

And to top it off, there’s a rundown of the newly released beef market outlook, in case you want the inside line on what’s happening in the sector.

With the weather getting more unpredictable by the year, The AG Show welcomes back Nuffield Scholar Hattie McFadzean to chat through practical ways our dairy farms can toughen up and stay climate‑resilient.

We’re also digging into how the boom in GLP‑1 weight‑loss drugs could open up some big opportunities - and a few challenges - for the industry.

Plus, we get the latest on what’s happening in the pork market. And with Yellow Wellies’ Mind Your Head campaign in full swing, we’re taking a moment to talk about mental health too.

The AG Show is going global this week, kicking things off with an absolutely wild story from a 2,000‑mile harvest adventure across the U.S.

Eleanor Gilbert - you might know her as Berkshire Farm Girl - jumps on the mic with Hannah and Charlotte to share what it was really like travelling the Great Plains for six months. We’re talking eight states, 1,000 hours in a combine and helping to bring in a massive 130,000 acres of crops. And guess what? She’s already got her sights set on Australia next.

We’re also hearing from Hattie McFadzean, an AHDB‑backed Nuffield Scholar, about her whirlwind study tour through five different countries… plus plenty more along the way.
