Farming Today This Week

After a week harvesting on a Lincolnshire farm, Charlotte Smith assesses how much impact the drought and downpours have had on the amount of crops brought in.

At the end of a week of harvesting on a farm in Lincolnshire Charlotte Smith looks at how much crop the team have been able to bring in after dealing with the downpours. The Farming Today team have been combining with Mark Ireland and his family on their 2000 acre site in Sleaford. The wheat, barley and oil seed rape have all been affected by drought and record temperatures in Spring. Charlotte Smith finds out how much yield, quality and ultimately the price of the crop has been affected and how that will affect our bread and beer.
