Episode 2: Chlorinated Chicken, Trade Deals, Charlotte & Rebecca Take London, Does the Women in Agriculture Movement Really Matter and is There a North-South Divide?

Unfiltered. Unexpected. Unapologetically honest….some might say blunt. Again.

We're back — this time fresh from a trip to the capital for the National Women in Agriculture Awards, with one of our hosts bringing back the Influencer of the Year crown! Don't get us started on the word 'influencer' though, that needs its own episode! Of course there was a sense of power, pride, and passion in a room full of many incredible women shaping the future of farming... but has the women in agriculture movement gone too far? This is a topic our listeners definitely had some opinions on!

Now we don't have time in less than an hour to fully dissect the UK-US trade deals going on at the moment but we do dive into the chlorinated chicken debate. With mainstream media frothing over the trade talks and what this means for consumers and farmers, we’re asking what’s really at stake? Because spoiler alert: it’s not just about chlorine and chicken. It’s about food standards, consumer trust, and the slippery slope that starts with one deal and ends with a broken food system.

At the moment, it seems like policy is made in Westminster but the consequences land squarely in our farmyards - who actually benefits from importing cheap food? And who’s left picking up the pieces when trust in British farming takes another knock?

Yet again, we're reminded why podcasts like ours matter - real farming voices are essential. We tell the stories from the farm and beyond, as they happen, combining opinion and fact.

If you’ve got a story, a strong opinion, or a take of your own… Slide into the DMs or drop us a voice note — we want your thoughts in the mix!
