    Welcome back to This Week in Farming, your one-stop shop for the best content from Farmers Weekly in the past seven days. First, the markets (opens as PDF) where there have been slips again in red meat prices – but happily for those in the market for fuel, diesel also continues to fall.

You might want to lower your sunglasses in shock for this one – there’s finally been a drop in the beef price – but only by 0.6p/kg for deadweight steers.
