More money has been announced to support a pro-dairy campaign. Sybil Ruscoe asks Rebecca Miah from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board what they hope to achieve and whether they've been quick enough to react to the growing prominence of plant-based diets which are often promoted on social media.

The hot weather has proven troublesome for many farmers, and Jackie O'Brien has been to Europe's largest one-day sheep sale in Lairg to find out how this year has been a buyers' market.

And whilst this hot weather has meant an early harvest for many it's also caused a huge fire risk as Robert and Joey Hodgkins of Cherry Tree Farm in Hertfordshire found out. Howard Shannon went to meet them.

Producer: Toby Field.
