BBC Radio 4 - On Your Farm, Suffolk Succession

Anna Hill meets the McVeigh family, giving control of their Suffolk farm to their children

Anna Hill meets the McVeigh family, who are handing control of their Suffolk farm to their innovative children.

Handing the farm over to the next generation is one of the perennial problems in agriculture. Anna Hill travels to Suffolk to meet the McVeigh family who seem to have resolved it amicably and profitably. Daughter Lucy is breeding pigs on the farm whilst studying for a business degree. Meanwhile, her sister Emily brings income to the farm through her glamping and wedding venue enterprise and youngest sibling, Tom is eager to get farming in his own right. But can parents David and Sharon really hand over their business without a twinge of regret? 

Producer: Anna Hill.
