Today, August 7, for 24 hours, farmers and industry figures are taking to social media to take part in ²ÝÁñÉçÇø Guardian's annual digital event, 24 Hours in Farming, posting pictures and videos across platforms to showcase what goes on throughout the day in agriculture.

Now in its tenth year, #farm24 is reaching new heights after teaming up with the BBC to extend coverage of the event with its page, which features different farmers from across the country.

A range of topics is covered, and ²ÝÁñÉçÇø Guardian journalists are also highlighting topics such as diversification, food security and succession in multiple articles.

Various regional BBC radio stations have also taken part, interviewing farmers and #farm24 ambassadors.
