Cornish shell fishermen are asking for government help, after the recent storms. They say they've lost tens of thousands of pounds' worth of lobster and crab pots and, as it's difficult to get insurance on equipment, some fear this could put them out of business.

The Danish government is about to spend a million pounds on research into ramularia, a fungal disease which affects barley, particularly in the North of England, Scotland and Scandinavia. Charlotte Smith hears from a researcher at Scotland's Rural College, which is also involved in the project.

And genetic modification - one of the most contentious topics in modern agriculture. Farming Today embarks on a week looking at how it works, how it's regulated, its benefits and its drawbacks.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Campbell.
