Turkey farmers are at full stretch across the country, as they get their birds ready for sale. Two years ago it was a very different picture when avian flu hit the poultry industry. In November 2022, the British Poultry Council said the UK had lost 40% of its free-range turkey flock. We visit a producer in Norfolk who lost thousands of birds to the disease. This year, he's back on his own farm, rearing thousands of free-range birds once more.

A House of Lords Committee says agriculture must do more to reduce methane emissions. A report by the Lords' Environment and Climate Change Committee says almost half of the UK's methane emissions come from farming, mostly from livestock. It says farmers need support to use both traditional and high-tech solutions, to 'keep up the momentum' in achieving methane reductions.

This week we're taking a look at the challenges dairy farming faces, from labour shortages to reducing emissions. An AHDB Levy Board survey in April this year showed a 5% fall in dairy farmers since 2023, but milk production is up as farms get bigger. We visit a third generation dairy farmer who milks hundreds of cows in an intensive dairy system.
