Farming Today - 22/09/2010

A flagship agricultural show is folding due a lack of funds. AgriLive Smithfield - which attracted thousands of visitors - was jointly run by the Royal Agricultural Society of England (RASE) at Stoneleigh which also ran the Royal Show before it closed. Anna Hill asks what went wrong and if other events could also finish. A farmer who plans to increase his dairy herd to 1000 cows faces opposition from animal rights groups but he argues it's the only way to secure a future in the industry. A cold Winter and dry Spring have made for a high quality hop harvest. Farming Today visits a farm supplying micro-breweries with their key ingredient. Produced by Anne-Marie Bullock.
