Scottish referendum

BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, Scottish referendum

What will extra devolved powers mean for farmers? Charlotte Smith investigates.

Charlotte Smith asks what is next for Scotland's farmers, as politicians both sides of the border negotiate on greater devolution of power.

As the dust settles after the Scottish referendum, Charlotte Smith asks what greater devolved powers will mean for farmers, in both Scotland and the rest of the UK. She hears from a farmer whose land would have been divided in half had Scotland voted yes, and from an English MP who fears that a move towards city states with regional powers won't take account of the needs of rural communities.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Campbell.

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