DEFRA has published the new areas where licences have been granted for the culling of badgers, which began earlier this week. It has also published figures for the new cases of Bovine TB which shows falls in Gloucestershire and Somerset. Anna asks the next president of the British Veterinary Association for his reaction. The BVA's Simon Doherty also gives his views on the National Audit Office's report into a projected shortfall in the number of vets needed to sign animal export certificates in the case of a no-deal Brexit. As part of a week concentrating on the importance of bees to farming - Farming Today hears from a Buckinghamshire 'Queen Bee farmer'. And Anna joins the grape harvest and samples the fruits of a bumper year on a winery in Suffolk. Presented by Anna Hill Produced by Alun Beach.
