Farming Today This Week 10/01/26: The Oxford farming conferences
Farming conferences in Oxford: we hear from the Defra Secretary and protestors, farmers and Charlotte Church.
Thousands of people have descended on Oxford this week for two farming conferences. We report from The Oxford Farming Conference, where the Defra Secretary of State made new announcements for England's environmental farm payments, while protesting farmers in tractors hooted horns outside the hall.
We also hear from delegates at The Oxford Real Farming Conference which was opened by Charlotte Church with some improvised singing.
