Inflation is hitting farmers with increased costs for fuel, energy and fertiliser. Some are benefiting from selling wheat at record prices - but for those buying animal feed, that means more costs. As glasshouses stand empty because of the cost of the gas to heat them and some farmers consider selling their fertiliser stocks rather than planting crops - Charlotte Smith asks the DEFRA Secretary George Eustice whether our food supply is secure. The badger cull has long been one of the most controversial Government policies. New research suggests it hasn't been effective - but not everyone agrees. And clarity after weeks of confusion over seasonal worker pay. Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons
