27/06/22 - Week on a Fruit Farm; fertiliser prices

We spend a week on a fruit farm in Kent. And the spiralling cost of fertiliser.

All this week we're talking about the fruit industry - from innovations to problems in accessing seasonal labour at harvest time. We'll be at Clock House Farm in Kent. We also hear from the chair of British Berry Growers. Nick Marston. And we have an update on the price of fertiliser - up by well over 100% since last year. We hear how this is driving farmers' decisions on whether to plant crops this year or not.
