Farming Today - 20/08/2009

A three million-pound pot of money has been announced to help areas which are struggling in the current recession. While half our local authorities are rural, only six of the 57 to win funding are in the countryside. The Commission for Rural Communities says the way of allocating the money is unfair and skewed towards urban cities, and argue that rural villages are being left out. Also in the programme, Charlotte Smith hears about the council-owned farm which local residents are fighting to save.
