The Farmers Guardian Podcast - The Clarkson effect: Is it real and what has he really done for farming?

In this Clarkson's Farm special, the FG team discuss what Jeremy Clarkson has really done for agriculture. Many applaud him for his ability to communicate the truth, and after another successful series of Clarkson's Farm, are people listening to him?

We talk about his pub, The Farmer's Dog, which has been open a year, and whether it has spurred the public on to buy more British food, and if he is the reason more young people are taking up agriculture in college.
