BBC Radio 4 - On Your Farm, New Era for Farming

Caz Graham asks what the new post-EU era will mean for British farmers.

Caz Graham visits Nic and Paul Renison on their upland farm on the edge of the North Pennines in Cumbria to see how they’re gearing up for a new post-EU chapter in agriculture.

2021 means a new era for British farming. For the first time in nearly 50 years the policies that shape the way farmers manage their land and livestock – and the kind of support they can expect from the government – will now be made in the UK rather than in the European Parliament. Caz Graham visits Nic and Paul Renison on their upland livestock farm on the edge of the North Pennines in Cumbria, to see how they’re gearing up for this new chapter in agriculture. She learns how they hope the regenerative farming system they’re introducing, with cattle, sheep, pigs and a flock of pasture-fed chickens with their own home built egg-mobile, will future-proof their business. 

Produced and presented by Caz Graham.

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