Rural Roundup (13th July)

This fortnight's roundup features news updates on the Basic Payment Scheme, avian influenza and agri-environment schemes. Janette Sutherland is back with the second instalment of her personal development bookclub. We learn about lead poisoning and its causes, calving heifers and finally, we speak with Tom Rust, a land agent from Bell Ingram and ask him what's on his desk. 00:00 Rural Roundup with Tiffany McTaggart 03:27 Talking Local Shows With Robert Ramsay & George Chalmers 12:20 Self Improvement Bookclub With Janette Sutherland 15:29 News & Events 15:45 Lead Poisoning & the Causes 17.05 Are You Calving Your Heifers At The Right Age?
