Home Ground

Home Ground returns for a new series, celebrating the richness of rural life in Northern Ireland. Gavin Andrews and Jo Scott introduce us to a host of stories and people who use the countryside for work, rest and play.

This week, Jo enters the world of competitive ploughing, while reporter Ruth Sanderson investigates the harmful effects of plastic in our oceans.

Gavin finds out about the seal population in Strangford Lough. And the importance of migrant workers to the mushroom industry.

Gavin Andrews meets an award-winning beef farmer to learn what it takes to produce high-quality beef for the supermarkets.
