Dave Howard hears there's bad news for brassicas. Scottish broccoli growers estimate a third of their crop could be lost due to bad weather.

Welfare campaigners, Compassion in World Farming say banning egg producers from trimming the beaks of laying hens is long overdue. Meanwhile, the British Egg Information Service argue it's a vital procedure to stop hens pecking or cannibalising other birds. Government funded research is now underway to investigate if hens can be kept in intensive systems without beak trimming.

And the farmers producing fruit for jam. Farming Today meet the UK's largest blackcurrant grower to see how the berries travel from field to boxed and frozen in the packing house.
