Inclusive Farming (34x46)

:

Matt Baker and Sean Fletcher roll up their sleeves to help out on a remarkable smallholding in Bedfordshire. Farmer Mike Duxbury lost his sight at the age of six due to glaucoma, but that didn’t stop him from achieving his dream to farm. Touch and sound enable him to navigate the farm and take on anything that needs doing, from checking livestock to wielding power tools to build animal enclosures. And Mike is determined to inspire young people with disabilities to get into agriculture by running practical courses. Meanwhile, Joe Crowley investigates if enough is being done to combat wildlife crime, and Adam Henson catches up with a farmer who nearly lost his livelihood due to injury.
