Farmers in Scotland have given a cautious welcome to the increase in the agriculture budget to £660 million. It's up from £620 million but falls short of the £776 million that the National Farmers' Union Scotland had wanted.
MPs have voted in support of the Government's change to inheritance tax on farms. In an opposition debate yesterday the Conservatives proposed the tax be scrapped, but the motion was defeated.
We continue our week focusing on workers on farms. Today we hear about the shortage of people in the fishing industry. The lack of people means some older skippers are now giving up early as they can't find a crew.
