Northern Ireland’s Future Agricultural Policy Framework has been unveiled setting out how farm subsidy will work in Northern Ireland now that we’ve left the EU. Elaine Mitchell explains what's changing. Philip Warren has spent more than thirty years amassing his collection of vintage tractors but he’s decided enough is enough and will this Saturday see his beloved Fords go under the auctioneer's hammer. Phil Howell from the National Institute of Agricultural Botany walks Charlotte through the crop breeding process, and Cathy Killick reports on a scheme to recycle plastic tree guards.
