A lack of custom agents and an increase in paperwork is having an impact on exports to the EU, according to Ian Wright from the Food and Drink Federation. Sybil Ruscoe speaks to Ian about trade, administration, and the impact of the pandemic - and asks whether the UK market might absorb the produce that would ordinarily be heading across the Channel. For sheep week Caz Graham visits a farm in Matson Ground near Windermere, where masses of data are analysed to improve flock profitability. Richard Green is in Beaworthy in Devon to meet farmers who still rely on heavy horse power to power their business. Presenter: Sybil Ruscoe Producer in Bristol: Toby Field
