Not enough young people are learning how to manage cider orchards, according to the Orchard Network of Excellence. It represents orchard owners, and is concerned that once existing fruit producers retire there will be no-one to take over. To encourage more young people to consider a career in orchards, it's working with the National Association of Cidermakers and colleges in Herefordshire and Somerset to create orchard apprenticeships. Charlotte Smith hears from the Network, and from one of the apprentices.

Farmers are part of a new panel which will advise the Welsh Government on improving health and welfare standards in livestock. The committee will help develop a ten year Animal Health and Welfare Framework, to replace the current Great Britain Animal Health and Welfare Strategy in Wales.

And we embark on a week looking at the use of new technologies in farming, from computer controlled machines to internet-based business analysis.
