Farming Today

29/07/2010

Some farmers pamper their pigs - feeding them beer, giving them massages or taking them swimming while others have a very basic lifestyle. Scientists at the Newcastle University have found a way to measure the happiness of pigs and will use this to assess an animal's opinion on how it's handled and housed. The first ship is setting sail from the UK's newest deep-water port grain terminal in Suffolk. Farmers in East Anglia will now have access to worldwide markets and better prices. And tiny vegetables are the latest trend in demand by celebrity chefs and fashionable diners. Farming Today meets the farmer growing 'microveg' for their plates. Produced by Anne-Marie Bullock.
