	Description:		There’s a new Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Who is Ranil Jayawardena and what hopes do farmers have for his time at Defra? We visit the Westmorland County Show in Cumbria to sample a few opinions, and get analysis from the Farmers' Guardian's Head of News, Abi Kay. Continuing our week looking at insects, we hear how a group of farmers has been looking into how they can attract 'beneficial' insects to control pests by using the flower margins alongside their arable crops. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
