Peak Power: LAMMA farm machinery show special, retail giant Morrisons backs farmers on inheritance tax, Shadow Defra secretary Victoria Atkins, & latest farm protest plans

The Farmers Weekly Podcast

In this episode, we discover how machinery manufacturers are making it easier for farmers to get their hands on the latest kit and technology.

We visit the 2025 LAMMA farm machinery show – the two-day extravaganza bringing 40,000 visitors to the Birmingham NEC.

We speak to farmers, machinery manufacturers and auctioneers – and get the low-down on the prospects for the sector for the year ahead.

As Morrisons becomes the first major UK supermarket to back farmers against the government on inheritance tax, we look at plans for further farm protests.

And we find out how shadow Defra secretary Victoria Atkins is tackling government ministers on behalf of family farmers.

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