Anna Hill hears suggestions that more should be done to help poor farmers leave the industry. The Commission for Rural Communities says a quarter of farmers are living in poverty.
Farmers battle snow and ice to keep animals fed and watered. Anna Hill finds out that the early cold snap could result in fewer lambs next Spring. Also, as tenant farmers face an uncertain future in many parts of the UK, Anna visits one Norfolk farmer who farms on council land. He explains why he's confident the future's bright. And scientists say a trial proves that vaccinating badgers against TB does seem to prevent them getting the disease.
