It’s that time of the week again for FarmLand – AgriLand‘s weekly video show – which returns this evening, Thursday, February 13, for the fourth episode of its 2020 season.
This week’s show reflects on some of the biggest talking points in the farming community; plus we also find out what’s happening inside farm gates around the country.
