The Government should consider introducing a direct payment to small farms in England according to Conservative MP and chair of the EFRA (Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Committee, Sir Robert Goodwill. He tells us around £10,000 pounds a year could ensure their survival. Direct payments to farmers in England are currently being phased out, while a new policy to pay farmers public money only for providing public goods is brought in. And as we come to the end of our week looking at the potato industry, we catch up with those who grow seed potatoes here but still can't export them to the EU after Brexit. And we hear about a £2m project to reduce the potato's carbon footprint. Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced in Bristol by Natalie Donovan
