From first-generation dairy farmer to Dorset tenant, plus BYDV and bluetongue

This week on The AG Show, we're catching up with a first-generation dairy farmer to hear how a programme built to support ambitious entrepreneurs helped them secure a farm tenancy in Dorset and take the next step in their farming journey. We'll also get the inside track on a brand-new tool set to help cereal growers tackle Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus, plus the latest on the bluetongue situation (which is a good opportunity to plug AHDB's bluetongue virus hotline: 024 7771 0386). And that's not all. We catch up with AHDB's new Beef and Lamb Director, Prys Morgan, and round things off by digging into the world of lamb grading and why it matters. **SOME USEFUL BITS (FROM AHDB & BEYOND)** Dairy Entrepreneurs | RABDF Training Programme Cereal growers asked to help develop a new BYDV management tool | AHDB Bluetongue Virus Hub - Ruminant Health & Welfare Support for farmers | AHDB Prys Morgan appointed as new Beef & Lamb Sector Director | AHDB Understanding lambs and carcases | AHDB **GET IN TOUCH** Charlotte, Hannah, Phil and Producer Martin would love to hear what you think!
