A dairy in Somerset has started producing carbon-neutral chedder cheese as part of a supermarket drive to cut emissions. Richard Clothier tells Anna Hill what changes the dairy has made to production to achieve this fromage first. The sheep industry has decided to make a concerted effort to wipe out a disease which costs the industry more than 200m pounds a year - sheep scab, and Anna asks Nigel Miller what difference this could make. For agriculture shows week Anna Louise Claydon has been to the county show in Kent to see how the participants feel to be back in the showground. Presenter: Anna Hill Producer in Bristol: Toby Field
