UK agriculture has been focussing on the wrong priorities and now needs wholesale reform, according to a new report from the New Economics Foundation. "Redefining Success in Food and Agriculture" will be presented at the Oxford Real Farming Conference, which starts today. It claims that UK farming is unsustainable, too energy-intensive, and socially unjust in its use of land. Anna Hill talks to the report's author, Stephen Devlin.

As the lambing season gets underway once more, Farming Today has an update on the situation with the Schmallenberg virus. It's carried by infected midges, and was first identified in England in 2012. Since then, many farmers have chosen to vaccinate. What's the outlook for lambing 2015? We ask the Chief Executive of the National Sheep Association.

There's an exciting year ahead for a farming couple in Leicestershire. At a time when most farm tenancies are for terms of less than seven years, Ben and Tori Stanley have managed to secure a twenty-five year contract. We talk to them as they start making plans for a very long-term farming future.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Emma Campbell.
