45. The Weekly Wrap - 12 March
--:--
Listen to some of the latest news from the farming sector and learn about the articles featured in the 12 March issue of Farmer’s Weekly in this episode of the Weekly Wrap podcast, presented by Denene Erasmus.
In this week’s main feature article, we go back to basics as we speak to researchers in the South African livestock industry about the differences between the main cattle breed groups found in South Africa. We also have an article on silage production with some practical tips from a silage contractor about how to correctly harvest and store silage on you farm. This issue features a sheep farmer from the Northern Cape who talks about how he managed to keep going during the drought. In our agribusiness section, listeners can learn more about the success of a family-owned jams and preserves business, which started with little more than two pots and a stove and has grown now into a large business that supplies homemade jams and other products across many parts of South Africa.
As in previous episodes, Erasmus also highlights some of the top-performing news articles from Farmer’s Weekly’s various platforms.
