Caz Graham hears consumers will pay the price for recent surge in wheat prices. Prices have doubled in just six weeks, with money being made by hedge funds across the world, betting harvests will fail. Stockbroker David Lowden from Redmayne-Bentley explains how the money is being made, and Caz visits Allied Mills in Salford to see first hand the huge scale of the modern milling business.

And the exacting standards supermarkets demand of fruit and veg growers is put under the spotlight. There's little room for tasty but ugly spuds on the shelves; Farming Today asks the National Farmers' Union whether the consumer or the supermarkets are to blame.

Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Melvin Rickarby.
