Fracking, Wages, Flowers

The controversial issue of fracking has been on the agenda at the Local Government Association's conference this week, discussing the impacts it may have on communities. Farming Today looks at the concerns being raised by farmers who farm land near proposed fracking sites.

Farm workers in Wales will have their minimum wage set by an Agricultural Wages Board, following a decision by the Supreme Court. The Agricultural Wages Board in England was abolished last year, however the Welsh Government wanted to continue with its own independent panel. The move was contested by the UK Attorney General.

And Farming Today continues to look at the British flower industry. Sarah Falkingham speaks to Gill Hodgson from Flowers From The Farm at the Great Yorkshire Show.

Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Lucy Bickerton.
