Plans are afoot for a different kind of Young Farmers' event, following the cancellation of the annual convention because of anti social behaviour. How a county council is bucking the trend and planning to buy rather than sell off agricultural land. As part of the week's look at farm pests, we hear how farmers deal with pigeons destroying newly planted crops. And a dairy farmer describes his joy at the arrival of rain. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
