The Farmers Guardian podcast: Get farming into schools petition - "This is what kids should be learning from the word go"

Sheep farmer and former teacher Olivia Shave started a petition to get rural education into schools, and Farmers Guardian has recently joined the petition as media partner. In this bonus episode, online editor Emily Ashworth speaks to Olivia and petition supporter Claire Mackenzie, producer of Six Inches of Soil, about the need for the Government to make real change when it comes to learning. Olivia and Claire will be at this year's LAMMA Show talking about the campaign.
