Free range poultry in England and Wales will be able to once more venture outside as the government lifts mandatory housing measures. The deputy chief vet says the risk of bird flu is now low enough to let commercial poultry range outdoors. Mutual respect, better communication and clarity of both intentions and expectations - those are the key principles behind the new ‘Agricultural Landlord and Tenant Code of Practice’ for Wales, just published by the Welsh government. Planting spring barley as a break crop. Presenter = Caz Graham Producer = Rebecca Rooney
