Farming Today This Week: Harvest 2018

Sybil Ruscoe visits Weir End farm in Herefordshire to meet star of #combinekaraoke, Ally Hunter Blair, and to find out how the weather is affecting this year's harvest.

Sybil Ruscoe visits Weir End farm in Herefordshire to meet star of #combinekaraoke Ally Hunter Blair and find out how the weather is affecting this year's harvest of Spring Barley, Wheat and Oilseed Rape. Ally explains that although yields are down prices have gone up so in many ways they'll probably finish up in the same position as last year, but it's the quality of the crops being produced that's of most concern. They sit down with Ally's Father Graham, now retired from the farm but who still confesses to annoying his Son on a daily basis. With just four days of harvesting left to go Ally is itching to get started again but there's just time for he and Sybil to hop into the cab for a spot of #combinekaraoke.
