13/07/20 Game shooting fights back, truffles going to waste, cancelled agricultural shows
Game shooting fights back with a new legal fund to take on the critics. And the nation’s agricultural shows that have been cancelled because of Covid.
The British Association for Shooting and Conversation has signalled that it's up for a fight by ear-marking more than £1 million to defend legal action threatening shooting.
All this week we’re looking at the impact of cancelled agricultural shows around the countryside. The secretary of the Association of Show and Agricultural Organisations says it’s been a tough time.
Truffles would usually sell for thousands of pounds but with top restaurants not buying, one grower is giving them away.
Presented by Sybil Ruscoe and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
