Oil Seed Rape and the Flea Beetle, Beef hide products, Agricultural skills training
Farming Today
Charlotte Smith hears how chemical pesticides are failing to protect Oil Seed Rape from the hungry Flea Beetle. Farmer William Dennis explains that despite applying treatments many times it's just not working and he's on the verge of giving up. Dr Steve Foster from Rothamsted Research explains what the alternatives might be. For Beef week Mariclare Carey-Jones visits Hayley Hanson who produces hide rugs and leather products in a workshop on her farm in the Brecon Beacons. Charlotte speaks to Matt Naylor who is part of a new coalition aiming to bridge the new skills gap so that agricultural workers are fit for the future. Producer: Toby FieldNext Episodes
