| 01 | Lambing | 20211008 | 20211208 (R4) | A series of three programmes giving voice to the trials and triumphs of young farmers. From springtime to harvest we follow three different groups of young people at the beginning of their farming lives. It feels like a challenging time to be starting out as a farmer. Added to the usual demands are a mixture of concerns over meat-free diets, mental health awareness, industrial and automated farming methods, changing subsidies and the multifaceted problems of climate change and biodiversity loss. To say nothing of the ambiguities of international trade deals. In the first programme, presented by Hannah Jackson - the Red Shepherdess - we accompany three young sheep farmers during their busiest period of the year: lambing. Featuring Lucy Dickinson, Matthew Fearon and Ernie Richards Producer: Martin Williams A series of three programmes giving voice to the trials and triumphs of young farmers.
