Veg growers are counting the cost of the cold weather as fields of cauliflowers have rotted in the ground before they can be harvested. Presented by Sarah Swadling.
Vegetable growers are counting the cost of the cold weather as fields of cauliflowers have rotted in the ground before they can be harvested. The chair of the National Farmers' Union Horticultural board says farmers will change the way they grow the crop to plan ahead for icy conditions.
Also, a row's broken out among beekeepers about whether their national body - the British Beekeepers Association - should be able to endorse pesticides in the future.
And we hear from Tom Martindale, a young farmer in Hampshire, about life since graduating.
Presented by Sarah Swadling and produced by Emma Weatherill.
