Listen to some of the latest news from the farming sector and learn about the articles featured in the 19 February issue of Farmer’s Weekly in this episode of the Weekly Wrap podcast, presented by Denene Erasmus.
This week’s main feature articles include a piece on the recent boom in citrus, avocado and macadamia production in South Africa.

Other articles include a basic guide to pruning fruit trees, a profile on the winner of the 2020 Agricultural Research Council’s National Emerging Beef Farmer of the Year award, as well as a report on a new stock theft prevention device that has been developed by South African farmers.
