The price of organic milk has gone up in the shops, but what are farmers getting for it? And how sheep farmers' profits could be affected by the eurozone crisis. With Anna Hill.

The price of organic milk has gone up in the shops, but what are farmers getting for it? The organic dairy co-operative OMSCO has published its annual state of the organic milk market report. It says that sales of own-brand supermarket milk are declining.

We hear how the Eurozone crisis could affect the price UK farmers get for lamb. And, our reporter Sally Challoner goes on a course to learn some ovine midwifery skills.

Why beef farmers are angry at plans to change Red Tractor label rules so that cattle would have to be on scheme approved farms for their whole lives, not just the last 90 days.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Sarah Swadling.
