	Description:		After months of wet weather, the recently sunshine means lots of farmers are out in the fields, desperately trying to catch up on planting crops. But is it worth it? Sybil Ruscoe speaks to one farmer who has decided not to plant food crops this spring. As the impacts of coronavirus continue to be felt in rural communities across the UK, we hear from a mixed organic farm in Oxfordshire which has seen a surge in veg box orders. And it may have slipped out of the headlines, but ash dieback is still a live issue, with millions of trees being felled. We visit a site on the Salisbury Plain where trees are being removed. Presented by Sybil Ruscoe Produced by Heather Simons
