It’s a Back to School Special as we find out about FaceTime A Farmer and hear of the educational work of Ladies in Pigs, from the group’s chair Debbie Wilson.

Last week on the Programme Sean discussed why cauliflowers and broccoli are in short supply at the moment. This week, there are fears, in some quarters, for your Christmas sprouts...and this time, it’s nothing to do with the weather!

We could be facing a shortage of cauliflowers and broccoli over the next few weeks, because of the floods - and then the mini heatwave - of earlier in the summer. Sean will hear from one farmer who's lost a million pounds worth of the popular veg this year.

You might have seen the images of farms hit by flash floods in Yorkshire last week. We’ll hear from some of those worst affected...and discover how farmers from our part of the world are digging in to help them recover.
