Their closed transfer system allows for safe use of chemicals when spraying crops and we hear from one operator who loves the system. Take a look at their full range of agri-chemical products at www.syngenta.co.uk/
Also in this episode, Angela hears from Farm Manager, Andrew Orme about the tough decision to rip up a field of failed OSR and plant a new crop of barley in it. Time is of the essence though as the window of opportunity for planting runs out.
Stephen pays a visit to a farmers' market at Houghton Tower. Sheep farmer John Holt explains why trade isn't too bad, but lambing conditions at home are very tough.
