BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, 02/04/24 Flooded farms, fox hunting, walking trail

Flooded farmers, fox hunting, long-distance trail.

Farmers are unable to put cattle out to graze because of the rain.

We hear from farmers unable to put cattle out to graze because the fields are still too wet. It's adding extra cost as they need to buy in food and bedding to keep the livestock inside for longer. 

We join a trail hunt in Yorkshire where both hunters and those watching for violations say tensions are rising.

And the groups helping to develop a major European walking trail through Northern Ireland, being frustrated by bureaucracy.

Presented by Charlotte Smith

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