Farmers are still having problems with the online system used to sort out subsidy payments, despite attempts to fix it. The Rural Payments Agency took the system down for a period of time at the end of last month to work on it, but it seems the problems persist. Now there are warnings that many farmers may not be able to complete the process by the deadline in mid May. Charlotte Smith talks to the chairman of a rural support group about the frustrations farmers have been experiencing.

Yesterday was International Women's Day - in celebration of which we talk to the Women In Rural Enterprise group, which offers business advice and support to women running small businesses in the countryside.

And Farming Today embarks on a week-long look at renewable energy, and the opportunities it can bring for farmers and landowners.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Campbell.
