	Description:		The coronavirus crisis has brought a double-whammy for growers in the horticulture sector. Travel restrictions mean it's harder for their usual workforce to come to the UK for the picking season, and at the same time keeping pickers two metres apart is not easy. Anna Hill finds out about new measures being introduced on some farms, to keep staff safe. A goat farmer in Northern Ireland sends us his audio diary of life under lockdown on the farm. Continuing a week-long look at trees, we hear about careers in arboriculture. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Emma Campbell.
