Jono Hurst (Brooklands Farms) - abbatoir access issues

Pig and cattle farmer Jono Hurst takes a break from ‘hamageddon’ to talk about the big issue facing many small farmers: lack of access to abattoirs. Why has it become so hard for meat producers to have their animals killed locally and traceably? Why does it matter? We also chat about Jono’s recent kidney donation to his wife Nat.
