Why politicians must back British farmers, pig crisis, oilseed rape prospects, young farmers in West Africa, & seed supplier helps local food bank

In this episode, why politicians are being urged to put their money where their mouth is when promising to back British farming.

One year after Boris Johnson outraged pig producers by dismissing the crisis engulfing the sector, how are farmers faring now?

With some arable farmers ripping up oilseed rape, we look at the prospects for the crop over the coming season.

We find out how young farmers get on the farming ladder in West Africa.

And we meet the seed merchant donating grain for a local mill to turn into flour for a local food bank.
