16/10/26 What will a farmer be?
Marking The Archers' 75th anniversary, we meet tomorrow's farmers and explore how the role and identity of farming could evolve.
As part of a special week marking the 75th anniversary of The Archers and exploring the next 75 years of farming, we visit Harper Adams University's farm to meet the next generation looking to build a future in the industry, and ask: what will it mean to be a farmer in the decades ahead.
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
