New water quality statistics published by the Environment Agency show that all English rivers are polluted. The main causes are sewage and agriculture. We hear from the Rivers Trust why, after years of regulation, monitoring and work to improve water quality they're still polluted. We kick off our week looking into the types of education and training available for young people who want a career related to agriculture. And hear how some farmers’ grain stores are currently empty when they’d normally be full at this time of year. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
