Anna Hill hears that a new biofuel made from straw and other farm waste is being trialled. The product has been made with inspiration from an elephant's digestive system. It is being developed in Holland and could be used in the future as an alternative to petrol.

The National Farmers Union predicted the wheat harvest this year could be the worst in living memory. Some farmers in the East of England are coming to the end of the harvest now - and will soon be planting their next crop. Anna Hill visits one farmer who is having the next season's grain seeds treated before they go into the ground or sold on to other farmers.

And there is a chance to catch up with Mark Ireland in Lincolnshire. Last month, Farming Today spent a week on his arable farm at the height of the harvest. All of his crops are now in and Anna Hill asks him whether it was a harvest to remember, or one to forget.
