Will British farmers lose out, because the European Union has struck a better trade deal for their farmers with New Zealand? Anna Hill asks an international trade expert.
All week we've been looking at the UK dairy industry. The price farmers get paid for their milk is at its highest ever level at around 50 pence per litre. But their input costs are also rising fast, and one dairy analyst says if the price they get doesn't keep up, more farmers will leave the industry.
The heatwave has brought a series of field fires as farmers start to gather in the harvest. The combination of working machinery, high temperatures and very dry crops is something farmers have to be vigilant about.
Presented by Steffan Messenger and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
