One farmer says he will take the law into his own hands if trespassing on his land continues. Farming Today meets Derek Cornforth in Yorkshire who wants action to stop rural crime. From now on beak trimming of laying hens in the UK will no longer be carried out using hot blades but by using infra-red technology. Farmers say the controversial practice is necessary for animal welfare, but others insist beak trimming is cruel and unnecessary. And as food prices rise, Farming Today learns that shoppers should be prepared for further cost increases over the coming months.
Presented by Anna Hill and Produced by Martin Poyntz-Roberts.
