26/08/21 - Ragwortgate, Pharmacist to farmer, Menai Mussels
Farming Today
It started simply enough - Yesterday, Tony Tyler from World Horse Welfare told us that Ragwort is a potential problem to the health of horses and should be removed. But not everyone agreed. Listeners got in touch to point out that the humble Ragwort is an important species for biodiversity. So today Charlotte Smith speaks to Dr Lynn Dicks, an ecologist from University of Cambridge, to hear the case for the defence. Is this the end of Ragwortgate? Plus, Elaine Mitchell is with Pharmacist turned farmer Ruth Parkes, and Nia Cerys reports on a project to keep Menai Mussels on the menu. Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Toby FieldNext Episodes
