BBC Radio 4 - On Your Farm, Brexit Border

Sarah Swadling meets an Irish pig farmer operating on both sides of the border.

Sarah Swadling is on the Irish border with a pig farmer who believes his business is threatened by Brexit.

Every year almost half a million pigs cross the Irish border for slaughter in Northern Ireland, a trade which Brexit has cast into uncertainty. Sarah Swadling meets farmer Ollie Leddy at his pig unit a mile south of the border, in County Cavan. He's concerned about the future of his business and the re-emergence of old divisions.

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