Farm Floods Revisited

Nearly a year after floods devastated parts of the Somerset Levels, Charlotte Smith returns to one of the farms worst affected to see how life is slowly returning to normal.

At the start of 2014 the Somerset Levels experienced their worst floods in living memory. For many farmers, it was a race against time to get livestock to dry land. Nearly a year on, life is starting to get back on track. In this programme, Charlotte Smith returns to West Yeo Farm near Bridgwater, where James and Jenny Winslade run a beef herd. When she was last there, in March, their cattle were spread across nine different farms, their pastures were an oily swamp, and the farmhouse was a building site. Now they're back home, and normality is slowing returning to the farm.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Campbell.
