In recent weeks there have been a number of thefts of pregnant ewes. Sheep rustling is thought to be more common in spring and winter, just before the main lambing season. Farming Today speaks to a farmer in Wales who lost 50 pregnant ewes worth thousands of pounds. NFU Mutual say many of the thefts are driven by the price of lamb.

It is the UN year of soil and this week Farming Today delves into the hidden wonders of our soils and looks at what British farmers are doing to safeguard the land. Anna Hill goes to a 'soil seminar' in Norfolk and speaks to David Gardner from the Royal Agricultural Society of England.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Lucy Bickerton.
