We talk to the new chair of the NFU's Dairy Board Michael Oakes, taking over at a time of high volatility and low prices for farmers. Suppliers on certain contracts with the processor Arla have been given 12 months' notice that their milk will no longer be needed - Anna Hill asks what chance they have of selling their milk elsewhere.
Sybil Ruscoe has been out with an access expert to get advice for dog walkers coming across livestock on farm footpaths.
And Conor McCauley reports on a project to help revive the fortunes of the secretive Corncrake bird which has seen its habitat change due to farming practices.
The producer is Sally Challoner.
