The deadline arrives for farmers to make EU subsidy claims, a suspected case of BSE in Ireland, and the dairy farmer who has made the tough decision to leave the industry.
A suspected case of BSE has been identified by the Irish Department of Agriculture. If confirmed it would be the first case of BSE there since 2013 and could threaten Irish export markets.
Today is the deadline for EU subsidy claims. It's been a long running saga with farmers facing real difficulties in registering their claims. But will they receive their payments on time?
A Cornish dairy farmer has made the tough decision to sell up and leave the industry.
He joins around 450 other dairy farmers who have left the industry over the past year.
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emily Hughes.
