John Humphrys to give up farming

John Humphrys, the presenter of BBC Radio 4’s Today programme and Mastermind, is to sell his Carmarthenshire farm, according to a report in the Telegraph.

“I was an amateur, it was an enormous strain, but I did get immense satisfaction. I realised it wasn’t the life for me,” he is quoted as saying. 

It is reported that Mr Humphrys, a passionate supporter of organic farming who acts as an unofficial ambassador for the Soil Association, is selling the farm and 16 acres for £265,000.

He purchased the 134-acre holding, complete with milking machinery and 100 cows, back in the 1970s as a ‘farming experiment’, the paper reports.
