We see a man standing outside F. Caswell & Son (a Worcestershire blacksmiths firm) inspecting tools for harvesting asparagus. We then see shots of men picking asparagus by hand in fields and women packing the vegetables. John Swallow talks to several growers about the decline in the industry which is blamed variously on the weather or the lack of young farmers going into the industry. One interviewee is named as Ray Hill and another is Adam Howley, President of the Asparagus Growers Association.
