The Farmers Guardian Podcast: "With change comes opportunity" - 24 Hours in Farming special

The spotlight is well and truly on farming, and for the launch of this year's epic 24 Hours in Farming event, online editor Emily Ashworth speaks to two #farm24 ambassadors about agriculture, whether the outlook is positive and if people really know more than we think they do about the industry. 

Recorded in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales national park, home to fourth-generation farmer Frank Carr and joined by FG columnist and farmer Amy Wilkinson, both talk of their outlook for the future and the need for consumer connection.
