As one supermarket rations its sales and another’s started importing from Italy, we ask what’s going on with home-laid British eggs.

Defra officials shared the revised plans on the post-Brexit farm payments for England with invited stakeholders at a meeting earlier this week. The Soil Association says it’s β€œalarmed” that Defra might be watering down ELMS and the Country Land and Business Association says it’s concerned that β€˜unhelpful rumours’ are damaging confidence in the schemes.
All week we're talking about trees. Today we visit a farmer in Wiltshire who's using a grant scheme provided by the Woodland Trust to replant hedgerows removed over the past 50 years.

Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
