	Description:		The beef industry is coming under pressure - the amount of beef eaten over the summer by fell by 14% and the Scottish beef herd is at its lowest level since the 1950s. Anna Hill asks Emeritus Professor of Food Marketing at Imperial College London David Hughes what the causes of this drop might be and whether there are opportunities for beef to be sold more widely beyond the shores of the UK. She also asks Drew Hendry from the Scottish National Party for his view on the Scottish beef industry and more widely about the SNP's rural policy. All this week Farming Today is looking at rural services and Caz Graham's been to a small primary school in the Yorkshire Dales that has had to battle for its future.
