Rising costs and a volatile world market means farmers need to make significant decisions about how they plan ahead when planting crops. With India suffering from a blazing heatwave, its' government has now decided to temporarily halt exports of wheat as its supplies come under pressure, which has caused wheat prices worldwide to jump. And the war in Ukraine is also affecting prices. As a major producer of sunflower oils, disruption to supplies means the price of oil seed rape has seen a big increase. And this week we're talking about staff shortages in the vet industry, and the mental health challenges vets are facing. Presented by Anna Hill and produced for BBC Audio by Caitlin Hobbs
