Rural care funding, geothermal heating and cider making.

Presented by Charlotte Smith. Rural social care provision, geothermal heating and cider making.

What sort of social and healthcare services can people living in rural areas realistically expect, and how do these services compare with those available to people living in towns and cities? Farming Today begins a week of reports on the issue. A study in Worcestershire examines whether geothermal energy - water heated miles below the surface of the earth - can be used to heat homes and businesses. And what's the difference between cider and cyder?
