Anna Hill finds out about a new research strategy to tackle the UK's commonest cause of food poisoning - Campylobacter. There are around three hundred thousand cases very year, and the most frequent source is raw or undercooked chicken. Farming Today also discovers what life is like for a combine harvester contractor, and revisits a Scottish farmer whose sheep were stranded in the winter snow, as he performs that most summery task - shearing.
