Farming Today comes from the annual conference of the National Farmers' Union in Birmingham, where the NFU president describes 2020 as "the most significant year in living memory" for British agriculture. Anna Hill asks her why.
We hear from delegates at the conference, who talk about what they see as the priorities for British farming post-Brexit. Anna also gets reaction to a government update on plans for the new Environmental Land Management Scheme, which will replace the current EU system of farm subsidy.
