Farming Today This Week: Harvest 2016

Caz Graham is in East Yorkshire to report on the progress of this year's harvest.

Caz Graham is on a mixed arable farm in East Yorkshire to report on the progress of this year's harvest. After a wet spring, how are the UK's crops ripening? And what impact will the weak Pound, and a poor harvest in parts of Europe have on exports? She meets farmer Paul Temple whose wheat is still wet following a late August rain storm that's stopped all harvesting. What are his prospects as the combine stands idly in the shed?
Sally Challoner reports from a farm in Hampshire where the harvest is in full swing, and learns about modern day combine harvesters and what role technology now plays. And Anna Hill has been out harvesting peas in Lincolnshire.
Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Sally Challoner.
