Farming Today

With demand for fruit and veg pickers growing there is a greater risk of worker exploitation by illegal gang masters. Charlotte Smith speaks to Action with Communities in Rural England about the challenges village halls face before they can all re-open, and she finds out about a group of auctioneers who are taking to the phone lines to support farmers who are feeling the impact of social isolation. Honey can be as complex as wine according to two beekeepers in West Wales who pair bees with flowers to produce their sweet produce. Producer: Toby Field
