Farming Today

The new Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Michael Gove speaks to Charlotte Smith about Brexit, badgers, trade, and the challenges facing farming. In a recent CLA survey growers and farmers are reporting a shortage in seasonal and migrant workers, who perform the vital task of picking our fruit and vegetables. John Hardman from Hops, a firm which recruits people into agriculture explains how Brexit, perceptions of the UK, and a rise in wages in other countries are all playing their part in attracting workers elsewhere. Producer: Toby Field.
