Loading player...
In this episode of the Weekly Wrap, Janine Ryan speaks about the highlights of the 11 December issue. These include a South Devon stud that keeps on breaking records; a high-density mango orchard pioneer aiming to produce 100t/ha; a study that shows that genetically-adapted cattle breeds handle heat stress better; why the DA wants farm attacks to be labelled ‘hate’ crimes; and using bats to battle bugs on your farm.

Ryan also discusses some of the news highlights, including the recent spate of truck attacks; how the COVID-19-related lockdown has boosted sales in illegal sales of liquor and tobacco products; and the progress (or lack thereof) that South Africa is making in regaining its foot-and-mouth disease-free status from the World Organisation for Animal Health.
