Country Focus

Available for 23 days

This edition explores farming careers at both ends of the journey. In Lampeter, a newly purchased farm is set to become an educational hub offering apprenticeships and vocational courses for those starting out in agriculture. Rhodri Davies joins one of the many Farmers’ Union of Wales Farmhouse Breakfast Week events, where farmers gather to catch up, talk challenges and support the Wales Air Ambulance. And in Carmarthenshire, Megan Williams meets John and Hazel James, who reflect on decades of work in farming as they prepare to step back from the business.
