A new report by the National Audit Office finds that the system for inspecting farms is costing taxpayers - and farmers - too much. An estimated 114,000 visits were made by government bodies in 2011-12. Anna Hill talks to David Corner, who oversaw the study, and a farmer who has changed how he farms because of red tape.

A woodland charity is concerned that a lack of information about private woodland ownership - more than sixty per cent of Britain's woodland is privately owned - is getting in the way of co-ordinated efforts to tackle diseases like ash dieback and find resistant trees for future ash woodland.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced in Birmingham by Rich Ward.
