22/01/24 Organic farm payments, flooded farms, family farming
New money for organic farmers in Wales.
New money for organic farmers in Wales. What does this mean for farmers? After weeks of heavy rain and flooding in the East of England farmers say they're facing big losses, not just of the crops lost underwater but also of the crops they were due to plant, but can't as the ground is too wet.
We often describe a farmer by the number of generations their family has been on the land, it's not unusual to speak to a fourth, fifth or even sixth generation. Farming has long been a family business and that brings advantages and disadvantages. We're going to be talking about all this week: the family farm.
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
