The continuing crisis on pig farms: George Eustice tells us the Government has done what was asked of it, but the National Pig Association says it needs more help. An invasive tree beetle has been discovered at 13 sites across Kent and East Sussex. It attacks spruce trees, initially weaker ones but it can spread to mature healthy trees, including pine and now a mass felling operation has begun to eradicate it. This week here we’re looking at the new post-Brexit farm subsidy systems being planned for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Agriculture is devolved so the different parts of the UK have different approaches. Today Dr Ruth Little from Sheffield University says the new schemes for England could be brilliant if the Government can get enough farmers to take part. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
