We are coming up to another orbit of the sun, and we thought we would do a quick round-up of some of the things that have happened in agriculture and what to look out for in 2025.

On the podcast, I promised I would drop a recipe: https://greatcurryrecipes.net/2021/01/24/haggis-pakora-recipe/

In conjunction with AuctionsPlus, AgWatchers provides a fortnightly update on the drivers of the main agricultural markets in Australia. This week we cover a huge range of topics:

• Speculators betting on a falling wheat market
• Russian wheat crop in a sorry state
• Downgraded Australian crop
• Record mutton exports
• End of moratorium assisting reducing WA discount.
• Increase in younger cattle price
• Stable export markets, but China down in demand.

This podcast is a quick way to find out about the big market moves in agriculture, from an independent point of view.

In this Zeitgeist, we have a chat about three major news stories breaking in agriculture. The feed additive Bovaer, and the conspiracy theories around it, the Woolworths protest and the impact on supply chains - and the signs that China wants to keep Australia close. We also launch our first competition.
