	Description:		The Agriculture Bill is now making its way through Westminster, but - as agriculture is devolved - the changes it introduces will only apply to England. Charlotte Smith asks what's in store for farmers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in a post-Brexit world. The wet autumn and winter is causing problems for arable farmers, many of whom have still not yet been able to get crops into the ground. We visit a waterlogged farm in Leicestershire. All this week Farming Today will be focussing on sugar growers. With the sugar beet harvest just coming to an end, Anna Hill meets the chairman of the NFU's Sugar Board, to ask how it's going. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Campbell.
