There's a predominantly ovine theme to this week's show and some sad news from Richard's little flock. Following on from this, Farmer Phil and Richard have a distinctly heated debate about the NFU's comments on hobby farmers and animal welfare. Richard chats to Watty about bees and the team talk about just how important their role is to agriculture.
