With a protection zone in place around location of the bird flu outbreak in East Yorkshire, Farming Today hears from a poultry farmer on a neighbouring site. Six thousand ducks have been culled at a farm near Driffield after bird flu was discovered. It's been confirmed that the strain of the virus is H5N8, the same strain that has been identified in the Netherlands and Germany.

The National Farmers' Union is calling for a new independent TB Eradication Board for England to 'de-politicise' the issue of bovine TB. Anna Hill speaks to the deputy president of the NFU who would like it to be set up before the general election next year.

And Farming Today continues to look at the sugar beet industry in the UK. Anna Hills visits the British Beet Research Organisation's headquarters in Norwich.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Lucy Bickerton.
