In this episode, the fallout continues over ‘unworkable’ rules restricting autumn applications of organic fertiliser.

We take a look at  yields and quality as the wheat harvest gets under way across the country.

As the latest climate change report is published, we ask do we need to take global warming more seriously? And how are cows becoming more carbon friendly?

On the markets – record prices are seen at the Thame sheep sale.
