Winter floods, drainage and soil health, Big Farmland Bird Count, closer UK-EU links and farming, & Mind Your Head week

As a wet winter sees leaves many fields under water, a special drainage scheme is delivering benefits for farmers and the environment. We pay a special visit to the Allerton Project at the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust farm in Leicestershire. How a closer relationship with the EU could benefit UK growers and livestock producers – if we can get the balance right. Read the EFRA Committee report here. And we discover how encouraging team spirit on the farm can help improve your mental wellbeing during Mind Your Head week.
