22/01/20 Thousands of salmon escape from offshore farm, veterans for agriculture, sugar beet logistics

Farming Today

Nearly a hundred thousand farmed salmon escaped from a storm-damaged pen off the Scottish coast. We hear what the consequences could be for wild salmon stocks. A project which helps military veterans find careers in agriculture is being expanded across the UK.  All this week we're talking about UK sugar beet. Anna Hill visits grower Jim Papworth, who runs a syndicate of ten lorries for forty growers, to get the beet to the factory at Cantley in Norfolk. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
