The funeral business has presented a new opportunity for sheep farmers: woollen coffins. Farming Today visits the Yorkshire mill where the coffins are stitched together. Despite being made of wool, they are capable of supporting over 40 stone in weight. Also, Anna Hill hears from a potato farmer bemoaning the dry weather. He is having to water his fields so he can dig up his crop without bruising them.
