One of the largest dairy herd sales of recent times takes place today when 800 cows will be auctioned. Government figures show the price of dairy animals has doubled in the last 4 years. Caz asks the Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers what this sale says about the industry and how it views British dairy farmers' future.

And Francis Pryor, archaeologist and farmer, claims that modern farming methods have destroyed vast amounts of archaeological sites in the UK. He tells Farming Today better protection is needed to preserve the UK's historical treasures.

Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Anne-Marie Bullock.
