As culls continue on British pigs farms, because of a lack of butchers in processing plants, the AHDB is starting a new service to help farmers. They're offering a cull and render facility for those producers whose animals have to be killed on farm. Also, we catch up with two farming sisters about the situation on their pig farm in Yorkshire. Kate Moore and Vicky Scott are launching a social media campaign, urging consumers to back British farmers. While world leaders are gathering at COP 26, the World Farmers Organisation tells us farming should be seen as part of the solution, not the problem.
