The pressure is on the farmer to get bigger and more mechanised. Farms and jobs disappear, and sometimes whole villages with them. What can be done to stop the rot, and to give young farmers and farm-workers a chance? Members of the rural community of Lincolnshire gather together to ask
Whose Land is it Anyway?
This is the second of six programmes giving a local issue a national hearing.

The demolition of the Firestone factory last year caused a major public uproar and a new list of protected buildings of architectural and historic merit which for the first time were drawn from the 20th century. Many of these buildings, like the late-lamented Firestone, were constructed for industry.
