Farming Today

Recent storms have left thousands of acres of farmland underwater. Caz Graham talks to a Herefordshire farmer who says that flooding from the River Wye is at record-breaking levels on his farm. He explains the impact this will have on crops for the rest of the year. All this week Farming Today is focussing on the fishing industry. Since the introduction of the EU Common Fisheries Policy, quotas have governed what fishing fleets are allowed to catch. So what happens now that the UK has left? Caz talks to a fisheries biologist from York University, who explains how the systems works. Essential oil from oregano could become a tool in the fight against antimicrobial resistance. We find out why. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Emma Campbell.
