In this episode, red diesel prices reach new highs as the Iran War escalates.

The government unveils it’s long-awaited land use framework – and says farmland must be managed differently and some must come out of production.

There's concern for upland farmers who face being shut out of two flagship agri-environment schemes.

And how one farmer is managing to make a profit – despite all these challenges and more.
