TB conference, Flood prevention, Potatoes
A four-day international conference starts in Cardiff to discuss ways of tackling bovine tuberculosis. Plus Farming Today starts a week looking at the potato industry.
Animal health experts, scientists and politicians from all over the world gather in Cardiff today, for a four-day international conference on bovine tuberculosis. Anna Hill asks the chief vet for Wales what the conference hopes to achieve.
After this winter's devastating floods, new ideas for flood prevention are high on farmers' and landowners' list of priorities. We take a look at a river project in Scotland, which is trying to use natural rather than engineered solutions to encourage flood plains to work effectively.
And Farming Today embarks on a week looking at the potato industry. How is this year's harvest shaping up, and what does the future hold?
Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Emma Campbell.
