Where's the money? We discuss how much farmers make from the food we buy. We hear warnings of turkey shortages this Christmas and pleas from small turkey farmers still in business not to forget them. Staff at the Rural Payments Agency look set to strike for a month over Christmas, just as they’re meant to be sending out crucial basic payment cheques to farmers. And we're looking at all things equine, hearing how the cost of living crisis and the spiralling cost of keeping a horse is making life difficult for owners of riding schools and stables. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
