🚜 Farming Special 2: Government Grants and UK Farming Policy

"As everyone knows, most farmers in the UK wouldn't survive without government grants and schemes." Mary talks to dairy farmer, Peter Shallcross, and three other farmers and farming advisers in the Nadder Valley about the pros and cons of grants and government policy.

Mark Lockyer is an arable farmer in Dinton, Rachel Hall is a sheep farmer in Motcombe and Todd Jex is an agronomist from Chilmark.

"Governments haven't been particularly farming friendly of late" - Mark Lockyer

"It's just stop start, stop start. They open something, they roll it out, ten days later it's closed!" - Rachel Hall

"I don't think farming's properly valued in this country" - Todd Jex

"It'd be better if we didn't get any grants at all and we made money on a fair commodity price" - Peter Shallcross

Written and produced by Mary Myers with music by Tom Davison.
