A British farmer said he hired mostly migrants as vegetable pickers because UK workers "don't stick" to it.

Paul Southall, who works at Norchard Farm in Worcestershire told Adrian Goldberg people "from Bulgaria, Romania and Poland" are among those who are employed as fruit pickers at his farm.

He explained that he doesn't "get much interest" from local people because the work is seasonal and workers are "out in the elements".

His comments come after the National Farmer's Union said British crops could be left unharvested without access to labour post-Brexit.

To find out how hard the work could be, 5 live's Adrian Goldberg tried his hand at vegetable picking.
