With just 27 days until Christmas, Charlotte Smith sees how farmers are preparing festive food. From turkeys to geese, nuts to parsnips, it's the busiest time of year for many farmers. It's also the time of year when the money is made. A visit to one Warwickshire turkey farm shows the farming system which results in a profit of £10 per bird. And in the week when Bernard Matthews passed away, Farming Today This Week looks at the legacy of the most famous turkey farmer of them all.
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Melvin Rickarby.
