Sybil Ruscoe meets some of the next generation of farmers at the Fertile Minds event in Cumbria. 150 young farmers meet to discuss ways into the industry, the support available and how to tackle the thorny issue of succession. We hear from a couple who've won the opportunity to take on a starter farm in Scotland, and from apprentices in East Anglia. And Environment Minister Lord de Mauley explains what the government is doing to help the next generation into the agriculture industry.
