A controversial cull of badgers in Wales will now be delayed, while the courts decide on its legality, and Charlotte Smith hears how would-be farmers can obtain land.

A controversial cull of badgers in Wales will now be delayed, while the courts decide on its legality. The decision by the Welsh Assembly Government to cull, to control TB in cattle, has been challenged by the Badger Trust.

And Charlotte Smith hears how would-be farmers can obtain land. Gareth Barlow farms at Castle Howard, of Brideshead Revisited fame. He now rents land on this grand estate, which has enabled him to expand his flock of rare breed sheep.

Meanwhile some farmers are going into share-farming. It's quite common overseas but less so in Britain. Farming Today visits the Yorkshire dales to see whether it can save farmers and land-owners money.

Presenter: Charlotte Smith. Producer: Melvin Rickarby.
