Farmers Guardian podcast: What value do farms and estates add to the community?

Farms and estates contribution to the local community and economy in rural areas is often overlooked by policymakers and politicians.

Following a CLA survey which looked at the social value provided by its members, Alex Black spoke to Judicaelle Hammond from the CLA, Johnny Wake at Courteenhall Farms, Ellen Francis at Quy Hall Estate and Rachel Rutherford at Northumberland Estates about their role in the local community and the value farms and estates add to rural Britain.
