Farmwatch and #farm24 team up as BBC and Farmers Guardian spotlight British farming

Today, August 7, for 24 hours, farmers and industry figures are taking to social media to take part in Farmers Guardian's annual digital event, 24 Hours in Farming, posting pictures and videos across platforms to showcase what goes on throughout the day in agriculture.

Now in its tenth year, #farm24 is reaching new heights after teaming up with the BBC to extend coverage of the event with its page, which features different farmers from across the country.

A range of topics is covered, and Farmers Guardian journalists are also highlighting topics such as diversification, food security and succession in multiple articles.

Various regional BBC radio stations have also taken part, interviewing farmers and #farm24 ambassadors.
