The Country Land and Business Association is calling for action to tackle fly-tipping. Sybil Ruscoe finds out why more rubbish is dumped illegally on farmland over a bank holiday.

The Country Land and Business Association is calling for more action to tackle fly-tipping. Sybil Ruscoe finds out why more rubbish is dumped illegally on farmland over a bank holiday weekend. We meet a farmer in East Yorkshire who's battling with everything from asbestos to kitchen tiles - which regularly turn up on his land.

Wet weather has been causing major problems for many arable farmers trying to get the harvest in. We meet one in Berkshire, whose crops are rotting in the field.

And with the 2017 badger cull expected to start within the next few days, we recap the situation with the cull since it began in 2013.
