22. 14 August - The Weekly Wrap

Loading player...
In this latest episode of the Weekly Wrap podcast, Denene Erasmus, editor of Farmer’s Weekly, tells listeners about some of the features from the 14 August issue that will be in stores from 7 August to 14 August.
The cover features, which are discussed in the podcast, include an article about a Free State farmer who decided to stop grain production and instead concentrate fully on producing planted pasture to support his beef cattle business, and an essential oils farming project in the Eastern Cape that is creating jobs and opportunities for poor rural communities. The main feature this week will be of much interest to any farmer looking for an investment opportunity beyond the borders of South Africa. We speak to Pieter de Waal, a local wine maker who recently invested in a small vineyard in Slovenia.
As in previous episodes, Erasmus also highlights some of the top performing news articles from Farmer’s Weekly’s various platforms.
