05/08/23 Farming Today This Week: Importing eggs; rural crime; harvest challenges; wild camping on Dartmoor
Imports of eggs are up, and so too is the cost of rural crime. Plus, wild camping is allowed back on Dartmoor.
Imports of eggs are up 276%; the latest figures from the government show that just under 7 million dozens of eggs were brought into the UK in May.
The cost of rural crime in the UK increased by 22 per cent last year, with high-items such as tractors, GPS systems and power tools being the most sought after things to steal.
Farmers share how they are trying to deal with the damp and inconsistent weather as they try to harvest.
And wild camping is allowed back on Dartmoor.
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Rhiannon Fitz-Gerald.
