190: Harvest 2020

It’s that time of year again, harvest 2020 is underway and farmers are coming to the end of what has been a challenging year for growing crops.

In this episode, we’ll hear from growers from across the country. They’ve had to deal with extreme weather, a global pandemic and the uncertainty Britain’s exit from the EU continues to pose for markets. Despite this, as we’ll hear, there have been mixed fortunes.
