Will it 'keep farmers farming', and with what benefits, or costs, to the environment?

A revised version of the Welsh Government's Sustainable Farming Scheme - "Tree planting and hedgerow creation" replaces the 10% tree cover requirement and the checklist of actions farmers would have to sign up to in order to access the scheme's universal layer have been cut from 17 to 12. Country Focus presenter, Caroline Evans attends the Royal Welsh Winter Fair in Llanelwedd, Powys, to assess the reaction to the proposals.
