Farming Today - 02/07/2010

Pesticide residues on food are apparently so low that there is no impact on human health, according to new government research. But despite this, Charlotte Smith hears calls from Organic Farmers and Growers for more government money for organic research. The editor of Smallholder Magazine tells Farming Today that despite a huge rise in popularity, keeping a few animals in the back yard won't necessarily save you money. And Anna Hill experiences the ancient art of sheep trimming at the Royal Norfolk Show, which since the demise of the Royal Show has seen a dramatic increase in entrants. Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Melvin Rickarby.
