03/12/21 The Secretary of State for the Environment on the new post-Brexit farming support scheme
Farming Today
The biggest change in farming in a generation is underway: itβs the transition from a system of subsidy money paid to farmers based on the amount of land they have to, in England at least, a system of paying public money for public goods. We hear details from the Secretary of State for the Environment, George Eustice, and mixed reaction from farming and conservation groups. And rounding off our week on farm labour, we visit a farm in Shropshire where Peter Davies has worked for the last 60 years, and at 81 is still doing four days a week. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced in Bristol by Beatrice Fenton.Next Episodes
