Repeated warnings by the British soft fruit industry that there will be a lack of suitable labour to pick this season's harvest are now coming home to roost. Farming Today reports from Scotland where a valuable crop is lying rotting in the field. All this week we'll be looking at intensive farming. Is a small traditional mixed farm with Jerseys wandering around a meadow better for the cows than on a so-called mega-dairy where they're housed in barns all year round? Today Steffan hears a definition of intensive farming from Janatha Stout from the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester. The only colony of little terns in the south west is flourishing despite storms destroying many nests across the country. The protected bird is in decline around the world, but for the last two years a record number of chicks have hatched on Chesil Beach.
