    Dutch Nitrogen Rules: What does this mean for future of dairy?

    In this week's episode of the Kite Podcast, Will Evans and Ben Eagle are joined by Erik Elgersma, Founder and Director of Strategic Analysis Services BV, and podcast producer Becki Reay, as they head to the Netherlands to examine the Dutch government's latest nitrogen reduction plans and what they could mean for the future of dairy farming. Proposed measures include tighter restrictions on farms located near Natura 2000 environmental protection sites. Erik explains the background to the plans, the challenges facing Dutch agriculture, and the Dutch government's ambitious targets to reduce nitrogen emissions by 2035. Together, the team explores what these changes could mean for Dutch milk production, whether they could lead to a smaller dairy sector, and if they might set a precedent for other countries across Europe. They also discuss why UK farmers should be paying close attention to these developments. Chris Walkland returns with his usual Milk Market Report and shares his insights into how the recent heatwave is affecting milk production levels and wider dairy markets.

    Kite Podcast Episode 300: Heat, El Niño and the Global Farming Outlook

    Join us as we celebrate the 300th episode of Kite Podcast! Following on from Chris Walklands milk market update, Ben Eagle and Will Evans are joined by Torin Nicholson from Kite, James Bolesworth, Managing Director of CRM Agricommodities and podcast producer Becki Reay. With it being a record-breaking week for June heat here in the UK we are perhaps inevitably talking about the weather, as well as the wider impacts of climate patterns such as El Niño on UK and global agriculture, and what this means for crop development, feed supplies and forage potential. The group explore how crops and grass growth are progressing across the UK, the status of silage and grazing management, and the outlook for maize and forage stocks after last year’s challenges. The conversation also looks beyond the UK to global growing conditions, including developments in the US, South America and China, and considers how international trade dynamics may affect UK farmers; throughout, the experts offer practical insight into how farmers can manage risk and maintain resilience if hot, dry conditions persist.

    Business Focus: Inputs, Cashflow and Cost of Production

    In episode 298 of the Kite Podcast, the team kick off with the usual Milk Market report from Chris Walkland, who is recording while away on holiday, before Will Evans and Ben Eagle are joined by Kite Consulting’s Emily Stafford, Kathryn Rowland and podcast producer Becki Reay to talk through the growing pressure of input inflation and what it means for farm management, cashflow and overall production costs. They explore why it’s so important for farmers to really understand their cost structures. One of the key points from the discussion is the need for a solid, practical budgeting approach, with Emily highlighting the importance of keeping a close eye on finances and having open, honest conversations with bank managers and creditors to stay on top of cashflow. As the conversation moves on, Kathryn points to the value of investing in good quality forage, explaining how it can help reduce feed costs over time, something that feels especially relevant in the current climate where margins are tight and every penny counts.
