Are farmers really technophobes or is that just a lazy stereotype? Anna Hill meets a father and son team farming in Buckinghamshire to find out. Dad David Emmett has barely looked at the laptop he had for Christmas, never goes online and is a firm believer that phones are for making phonecalls and nothing else. Meanwhile, his son Matthew Emmett is never without his smartphone, he's built a website and moved all the farm's accounts onto the office computer. Anna Hill asks them how the industry will cope when paper claim forms for subsidy payments are phased out in February 2015, and all farmers are forced to use a new online system.
Anna travels to the Rural Payments Agency's offices in Reading and gets a sneak preview of Defra's new CAP Information Service, which will start going live in July.
Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Anna Jones.
