'Catastrophic' weather causes pumpkin crop failure

This year's wild weather has had a massive impact on our local agriculture.

March House Farm have successfully grown hundreds of pumpkins and welcomed hundreds of visitors for the last eight years.

This time it’s been a ‘catastrophic growing year’, in part down to torrential rain and freezing temperatures, and they've been forced to cancel this year's pumpkin picking

Jo Belcher runs the farm with her husband Dan. She told Ady Dayman what it meant for their business.
