Farming Today This Week: On the road finding out about rural election concerns

Charlotte Smith presents a round-up of Farming Today's week-long tour of the UK, asking what rural communities want from politicians in the run-up to the general election.

This week's programme is a round-up of the voices we've heard throughout this week, as Farming Today has been out on the road visiting rural communities up and down Britain. In the run-up to next month's general election, we've been on farms, at livestock auctions, on rural bus routes, and in village tea shops. We've been north, south, east and west - and heard from all four nations that make up the United Kingdom. In this programme, Charlotte Smith pulls together a summary of the opinions we've heard about what politicians should be concentrating on. From post-Brexit agricultural policy to rural broadband, what does rural Britain want from its would-be MPs?

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Campbell.
