    What's all the fuss with the pommies?

    The usually reserved British farmers are protesting against the government. What's it all about though? We invited David Eudall, from AHDB in the UK onto the podcast to have a chat about what is causing the farmers to protest against the government. 

    The last straw seems to have been the inheritance tax, but there is more than that.
