Organophosphates in sheep dip, Christmas geese, Tidal surge

The Shadow Health Secretary, Andy Burnham, is calling for more information on how farmers may have been affected by using sheep dip in the 1970's and 80's when twice-yearly dipping of the 44 million sheep in Britain was compulsory. Many farmers argue that the practice caused them severe long term health problems and government advice on protective clothing was inadequate.

This week marks one year since a tidal surge affected thousands of acres of farmland along the east coast of England. In Lincolnshire, hundreds of acres of crops were destroyed when the sea breached a privately-owned defence at Friskney Marsh. Hugh Drake who farms there speaks to BBC Radio Lincolnshire's Rod Whiting.

And as Farming Today continues to hear from farmers who produce the food for our Christmas plates, Caz Graham visits a small hill farm in the Lake District where they produce free-range geese.
