	Description:		Basic payments scheme for farmers will end in Wales from 2021. They'll be replaced with a 'sustainable farming' scheme which will reward farmers for public goods, similar to England. The Environment Minister says she's consulting farmers but has had no assurances from DEFRA about funding levels. Are animal welfare standards good enough? The Animal Welfare Foundation is bringing together vets and leading welfare campaigners to debate the issue. Two professors - one British, one American - compare UK and US animal welfare. Trump and Gove - will the two meet? And what future for food and farming and trade between the UK and the USA in a post Brexit world? Education - what teachers and children do with a farm visit when they get back to the classroom.
