麻豆约拍

Charlotte Smith visits Thame Farmers Mart in Oxfordshire where a weekly livestock auction is taking place. Following the latest announcements from Government about the future of farm payments in England, we hear farmers' views.

Another hot topic is the shortage of labour - both on farm and in the wider food industry. We visit a turkey farm in the midst of the pre-Christmas rush, hear how some Northern Irish dairy farmers are leaving the industry and ask how Riverford has managed to employ 50% British field workers.
