Radical reform proposals aimed at revitalising tenant farming in Scotland have been announced. Scottish farming minister, Richard Lochhead, explains why.

Also the overhaul of TB testing system in England and Wales. We hear from Simon Hall, the Animal and Plant Health Agency's veterinary director.

And the creation of F4U, Farmers for the Upland, speaking up for upland farmers in Wales.

All this week on Farming Today we hear about the pressures dairy farmers are facing because of declining prices. But there are some groups, who disagree with milk production per se on animal welfare grounds. We hear from The Vegan Society, which supports food production which doesn't involved animals, saying the dairy industry is damaging and we'd be better off without it.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Mark Smalley.
