The latest farming news. Charlotte Smith hears from goose farmers at the busiest time of the year, as birds are fattened up ready for the traditional Christmas dinner.

In Victorian times, goose was the traditional meat eaten on Christmas day. Farming Today visits a poultry farm where plucking parties are imminent, to get the birds ready for this year's festive season.

Anglers are being asked to be on the look out for salmon poachers in North Wales to help combat illegal fishing. The Campaign For The Protection of Welsh Fisheries says the crime can damage fish stocks and the ecology of the rivers.

And even though shoppers looking to save money are becoming more picky, new research suggests farmers can still cash in on high quality produce.

The programme is presented by Charlotte Smith and produced in Birmingham by Angela Frain.
