After promises made to farmers earlier this year in the wake of the horsemeat scandal, are supermarkets still stocking too much imported meat? We look at criticism from the NFU.
It's now nearly nine months since the horsemeat scandal, which left many supermarkets admitting they could do better when it comes to sourcing meat produced here in the UK. Are they still stocking too much imported lamb? The NFU in Scotland thinks so. Charlotte Smith examines the arguments.
With the summer weather finally expected to break, and heavy rain forecast for this weekend, Farming Today catches up with the harvest. Have farmers managed to beat the weather and win the race against time to get their crops in?
And Caz Graham takes a look at the role of working dogs in the shooting industry, where the work of gamekeepers, beaters and people employed to pick up the birds would be almost impossible without a canine helper.
Presented by Charlotte Smith. Produced in Bristol by Emma Campbell.
