Farming Today

A group of growers have sent out a ballot to two thousand growers across England asking them for their views on paying a levy to the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board. Anna Hill speaks to one of the growers behind the ballot, and to the AHDB about why they believe they offer value for money. Heather Simons has been finding out why the humble Hoverfly is the unsung hero of the pollinating world. A new app has been launched in a bid to improve farm safety by sending out an alert if a farmer is in trouble. Producer: Toby Field
