NFU position on Brexit
A new milk ad is getting farmers talking. Plus a poultry farmer thinks there's an alternative to beak trimming, a new way to monitor glass eels and election issues in rural Wales.
A new advert for a supermarket chain guarantees that the cows providing its milk "have access to grazing". But what does that mean in practice? Around 90% of hens' beaks are trimmed in the UK, but the practice is controversial. A Wiltshire poultry farmer thinks the industry has an alternative.
In the West of England conservationists are using an ingenious way to monitor the endangered glass eel. Schools, hospitals, jobs and transport remain concerns for rural voters as campaigning continues in the Welsh National Assembly elections.
Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Vernon Harwood.
