	Description:		We hear from the former Defra boss who now says the best bit of the deal with Australia is the termination clause, and the angry reaction. As one supermarket rations its sales and another’s started importing from Italy, we ask what’s going on with home-laid British eggs. Defra officials shared the revised plans on the post-Brexit farm payments for England with invited stakeholders at a meeting earlier this week. The Soil Association says it’s “alarmed” that Defra might be watering down ELMS and the Country Land and Business Association says it’s concerned that ‘unhelpful rumours’ are damaging confidence in the schemes. All week we're talking about trees. We visit a farmer in Wiltshire who's using a grant scheme provided by the Woodland Trust to replant hedgerows removed over the past 50 years. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
