19/06/21 Farming Today This Week: Australian trade deal, Jeremy Clarkson's farm, fell runner Joss Naylor

More on farmers' reaction to the UK/Australia trade deal.

We discuss the issue which has dominated agricultural conversations, and political ones this week: the UK/Australia trade deal. Australia's deputy Prime Minister says it's a good deal for his farmers, but Leicestershire farmer, Joe Stanley, describes it as "a betrayal".
We hear from Jeremy Clarkson on his new farming series, and about a new report which is blunt in its assessment of the image of farming. Urgent change is needed to prevent disastrous labour shortages, according to academics at Exeter University.
And we're up on the Cumbrian hills with the record-breaking Joss Naylor, the supreme fell-runner and farmer.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
