Reactions to the budget as farmers welcome the change in averaging farm income over five years.
It's not just farmers in England and Wales who are experiencing problems with registering for their subsidies. We hear that France, Croatia and Italy are also struggling with the online system.
All this week we hear about aspects of the pig industry. In this programme we hear about UK exports to China of parts of the pig that British consumers don't want to touch. Trotters, offal and snouts are known as the pig's fifth quarter, which is considered a delicacy by growing markets in the Far East. Adam Couch of Cranswick explains.
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Mark Smalley.
