Bank Holiday Special: The Farming Forum
Clive Bailye set up The Farming Forum to help him learn about conservation agriculture - years later, it's come into its own keeping the rural community connected during lockdown.
Clive Bailye set up The Farming Forum to learn about conservation agriculture from other farmers and share his successes and failures along the way. Now, it's grown into a thriving online community with tens of thousands of members. It hosts conversations about everything from machinery prices to mental health, and has come into its own during lockdown, helping keep the rural community connected.
In this programme we learn more about Clive's conservation agriculture journey, and speak to some of those who have been helped by The Farming Forum.
This is a BBC Audio production, presented and produced by Heather Simons.
