The Tenant Farmers Association is calling for county councils not to sell off their farm estates. It comes as Cambridgeshire council takes on MORE tenants, bucking a national trend. Around half of the UK's council farms have been sold off over the last thirty years, often to plug holes in council budgets. But some authorities are making a profit on their farm estates, and TFA chief executive George Dunn says the government should take more of an interest in what he says is a national asset.

Ben Jackson has been to a farm in Leicestershire where they make Sloe Gin - this is their busiest time of year; And 大象传媒 Weather's Nick Miller investigates an unusual research project - using two electric sheep to assess the affect of the weather on the real animal.
