Turmoil over autumn cropping – Clarkson hits out, Starmer tackled on red diesel, Cereals preview & farm safety

Celebrity farmer Jeremy Clarkson speaks out as soaring fuel and fertiliser costs force arable growers to rethink autumn cropping plans. MPs urge Kier Starmer to help reduce red diesel prices as they tell the prime minister the Iran war makes food security paramount. We preview this summer’s Cereals event – to be held on 10-11 June at Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds. And how a royal estate is working to improve safety on its tenant farms.
