Anna Hill spends the night in the lambing shed at what is the busiest time of the year for sheep farmers. All this week Farming Today is at Newton Farm in the Brecons in Wales with the Roderick family, whose ewes will produce 1800 lambs this Spring. We meet 18 year old Tudor Roderick who's helped to deliver 40 lambs overnight. We also analyse a damning Parliamentary report which criticizes the Common Agricultural Policy Delivery Programme for poor leadership. The programme - which is run by various organisations within Defra - assesses and pays out European subsidies for farmers across England. The Public Accounts Committee report highlights the impact of "dysfunctional and inappropriate behaviour" between senior officials, "potentially costing the taxpayer hundreds of millions of pounds in financial penalties" because of payment delays.
