BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, 24/12/2010

Christmas birds under the hammer; lamb for the farm shop; a Suffolk vineyard.

Rural news and issues with Charlotte Smith. Bargain hunters at a poultry sale in Norfolk bid for their Christmas birds; preparing lamb for the farm shop; a Suffolk Vineyard.

In Devon, milk tanker drivers have been working extra hours and carrying sacks of grit on their lorries to try to reach remote farms. Bargain hunters at a poultry sale in Aylsham, Norfolk bid for their Christmas birds. We join the young farmer Gareth Barlow as he prepares his lamb for the farm shop. And Anna Hill visits a Suffolk vineyard.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Weatherill.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
