18/07/25: wildfires, crofting, strawberries

There are warnings of wildfires again as the hot dry weather continues, but in some parts of Britain special attachments are being used on fire engines to allow them to access farmers' water resources. We speak to a farmer who benefitted from the technology, and a fire prevention officer.

A man from Gloucestershire who wanted a new life in the Outer Hebrides is growing salad crops in the harsh conditions. Now he's giving advice to other farmers.

And we continue our week-long look at soft fruit, with scientific trials to grow strawberries more efficiently, in less space, with fewer inputs but mazimised yields. We visit the National Institute of Agricultural Botany - or NIAB - in Kent.
