We caught up with our UK correspondent upon his return from two regenerative agriculture conferences in the US (Louisville and Wichita). Plus, we talked about Boris and Covid.

Don Carson:

Emma Higgins:

The senior analyst and co-author of the Rabobank Agribusiness Outlook 2022 report was predicting a sixth consecutive year of general profitability for the country's ag sector. However, Higgins warned that while we're experiencing record returns, headwinds were gathering strength.

Graeme Williams:
