Talk Farm episode 4: Your 2025 agriculture forecast

The fourth episode of Talk Farm, our Agriculture and Estates podcast, is available now.

Partners James Frankland and Rory Hutchings are joined by Denise Wilkinson, Head of HCR Law’s Agriculture and Estates team.

Denise, Rory and James explore the year ahead in agriculture in a wide-ranging conversation, covering Environmental Land Management Schemes and Sustainable Farming initiatives, the changes to Agricultural and Business Property Relief, and how the budget will affect land values.

Alongside this, the team discuss The Renters Reform Bill and how it could change the nature of agricultural tenancies, the government’s grey belt strategy and the impact it could have on Compulsory Purchase Orders and the two trends set to dominate agriculture in 2025 – diversification and development.

Talk Farm sets out to identify the human impacts of developments in the world of politics and law, offering commentary and practical guidance which cuts through the noise.

All of this and more is available to listen to now on all major streaming services, including Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
