In the latest Meet the Farmers podcast episode, Ben Eagle meets Joe Stanley, a Leicestershire arable and beef farmer, writer, social media star, and local farming leader. Last year Joe was also awarded the NFU’s Meurig Raymond Award.

Joe is a trustee of the Henry Plumb Foundation, on the steering committee for the East of England Farming Conference, NFU branch chair for North West Leicestershire, and the NFU county Vice-Chair for Leicestershire, Northamptonshire & Rutland.

You might also know him as a regular columnist for Farmer’s Weekly, Farm Business, Farmers Guardian, Agronomist & Arable Farmer, and NFU Countryside.
