The Scottish Government has launched a fund for farmers affected by the recent bad weather, but will Wales, England and Northern Ireland follow? National Farmers' Union President Minette Batters explains why she thinks it's vital to English farmers. The audits for Red Tractor Assurance and RSPCA Assurance used to happen in one visit - now it's two. Charlotte Smith asks Joe Bailey from RSPCA Assured why this change has been made. Mark Smalley's been on a farm visit with vet Bryony Kendall as she checks on the health of a pregnant cow. Rubber gloves at the ready! Jackie O'Brien's been to the River Garry to find out about tagging and tracking wild Atlantic Salmon in the River Garry. Producer: Toby Field.
