A 27% rise in the cost of growing fruit and veg is leaving some farmers questioning their future. The cost of things like fuel and fertiliser have been high for some time. The National Living Wage is now set to rise the April - and it's not yet sure whether seasonal workers coming in on temporary visas will have to be paid above the minimum wage, as they were this year. The shooting industry is under pressure - according to BASC, the British Association for Shooting and Conservation. Following a campaign by the Wild Justice group, DEFRA says it will review the shooting season dates for some wild birds, and the Scottish Government is currently consulting on plans to introduce licensing for Grouse shooting. And social media is a useful side-hustle for some farmers. We meet one beef farmer who says his videos make more money than his cattle! Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons
