Farm workers have left to fight, supply chains are stalling, but crops still need tending. Just over a week ago people in Ukraine were plunged into a war zone as Russia invaded - but amidst the fighting and bombing, farming continues. We hear from Kees Huizinga, whose been farming in Ukraine for 20 years. What does the future of British horticulture look like? The Government is interested in supporting an expansion in the sector growing under glass. Meanwhile the confusion continues over how much foreign pickers will have to be paid. And we meet Barbara Griffiths, who has set up a business uniting dairy farmers, small scale dairies and traditional milk rounds with local council contracts. Presented by Sybil Ruscoe Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons
