The latest news about food, farming and the countryside. Charlotte Smith reviews the 2013 cereal harvest from the perspective of a major consumer of UK barley, breweries.
2013 has been a turbulent year for cereal growers, with the weather throwing everything it had at them. But after the incredibly wet autumn, freezing spring, and hot summer how has the harvest actually turned out? Charlotte Smith asks farmers and grain analysts. And she explores the barley harvest from the perspective of one its end users: the head brewer at Wadworth's, in Devizes.
