IT'S BACK! Preview of Season 5

Chris Biddle announces the comeback of his podcast, Inside Agri-Turf, after a summer break.

He reflects on his extensive career in the land-based engineering industry and expresses his passion for sharing stories and insights about farm and grass machinery, and introduces new podcast features, such as 'A View from the Long Grass' and 'What Happened Next?'

There are previews of upcoming content, including industry trends and pivotal events like Stihl's product distribution shift to Screwfix and a forthcoming update on heritage engine maker Briggs Stratton who have just emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

He discusses the challenges faced by the industry, the future for garden machinery dealers and weather impacts.

There is also a telling comparison of agricultural engineering with Formula One and he addresses the often-underappreciated role of turf professionals, defending their craft against recent derogatory comments.
