A lack of migrant labour due to Brexit remains a 'huge problem' for a farm gearing up for the key Christmas season.

Production, which had been hit by soaring global energy prices, is due to restart after the government struck a deal with the American owners CF Industries to revive the facilities in Teesside and Cheshire.

Turkeys are in high demand at Heart of England Farms where demand is weeks ahead of the usual timescale in the run-up to Christmas ‘The holiday industry will have a big say on where things go if there are less people in the UK over the Christmas season. However labour shortages, an existing problem in the farming industry, are a major concern as it prepares to begin processing its flocks in November.

Mrs Gronning, who runs the farm with husband Olle, said: ‘When I’ve been to supermarkets I have noticed there are less chicken products on the shelves. We did get a call from one of the big supermarkets about six to eight weeks ago looking for a major number of turkeys, which far exceeded anything an artisan farm like ours could supply.
