15/08/23 Cleaning up the River Wye; ancient hedgerows... and the future of hedgerows
A large poultry processor is to stop the sale of its chicken litter as fertiliser in the Wye catchment area. Plus the past and future of hedgerows.
The largest poultry processor in the Wye catchment area has announced litter from its supply chain will no longer be available for sale, as fertiliser, within the Wye catchment, as a way to help better manage their supply chain, in relation to the health of the River Wye. A conservation group responds to the news.
NFU MIdlands members are asked for their thoughts on the government's hedgerow consultation.
And a fifth generation farmer in Kendal shares why hedgerows are not just important for farming, but local history and culture, too.
Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Rhiannon Fitz-Gerald.
