BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, Lord Plumb on Farming in 2018

Caz Graham joins Henry Plumb at home on his Warwickshire farm.

Caz Graham joins Henry Plumb at home on his Warwickshire farm to hear his views on the year ahead and his reflections on 50 years in agricultural politics.

Baron Plumb of Coleshill has just retired from the House of Lords at the age of 92 - but he's still out shifting cattle in the snow and can't imagine a day when he'll stop contributing to the debate about British farming. Henry Plumb is a stocksman at heart, he left school at 15 during the Second World War to work on the family farm near Birmingham but he's spent the last 50 years at the heart of UK agricultural politics and is the only Briton to have been President of the European Parliament. Caz Graham joins him on his Warwickshire farm to hear his thoughts on the year ahead, Brexit and retirement.

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