	Description:		The uncertainties over Brexit are feeding in to farmers' stress. A charity working to help, the Farm Safety Foundation, tells us why lack of progress on Brexit is having an impact on farmers' mental health. Potato planting season is about to get under way across the country. Most get their specialist seed potatoes from catalogues, but this year, for the first time, a Tattie Day was held in Strathmore, the heart of Scotland's commercial seed growing country. Dairy farmers housing their cows inside over the winter have been watching the grass and the ground carefully for the right time to let them out. Beatrice Fenton went to Yeo Valley farm in Somerset to meet farm manager Jon Wilson, and meet the cows who are ready for a special day. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
