Rural economy, Robotic chicken farming, Agricultural job on remote island

A new report will be launched at the House of Commons today, highlighting the contribution that rural businesses make to the UK's wider economy. It identifies four key areas which the Country Land and Business Association would like the government to focus on, in order to make sure that the 646,000 rural-based businesses in England and Wales are not overlooked in future legislation.

As LAMMA - the UK's largest farm machinery show - gets underway, Farming Today continues its week-long look at the uses of new technology in agriculture. Today we meet a chicken farmer based near Chesterfield, who relies on robotic technology to keep his birds healthy.

And how about a new job? We have news of a new farming opportunity - on the remotest inhabited island on earth.
