Farming Today - Farming Today This Week

Caz Graham looks at winter on farms around the country. Life on farm doesn't grind to a halt for the festive season, so while you may be tucked up in bed, spare a thought for the farmers out in the cold, the dark, the wet and the snow. Farming Today This Week visits Rugeley in Staffordshire, where there's a broken milking machine as the cold snap causes dozens of metres of pipes to freeze in the milking parlour. Meanwhile on a Norfolk sheep farm, it's a round trip of hundreds of miles to check on all the animals. And it's not just livestock - there are sprouts to harvest and eggs to collect. And for farmers working with the RSPB there are birds to feed and wildlife to be tended. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Melvin Rickarby.
