31/08/23 Sustainable Farming Incentive delays; hare coursing; harvesting flax
England's common land farmers face delays to applying for the Sustainable Farming Incentive. Plus, the growing interest in the use of flax for sustainable fashion.
Nearly 4,000 farmers who farm common land in England face delays to being able to apply for - and therefore receive payments from - the Sustainable Farming Incentive, the most basic element of the Environmental Land Management Scheme which is to replace the EU's Common Agricultural Policy.
A farm worker in Wiltshire shares his recent experience of what happened when he confronted hare coursers.
And why there's growing interest in using flax for sustainable fashion.
Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Rhiannon Fitz-Gerald.
