In this episode, we look at controversial plans to build the UK’s biggest solar farm on a swathe of productive agricultural land.

More than 2000 farmers have joined an online platform to increase returns from their livestock enterprises – we examine how it works.

What’s the verdict on the Red Tractor farm assurance scheme? We find out from NFU leaders. And we meet the Norfolk cheese maker who invested £250,000 to turn a wooden goat shed into a state of the art farm shop.
