	Description:		The planning laws stopping a farmer from protecting his land from joyriders and criminals. ‘Must do better’; that's what the Office for Environmental Protection says today in a new report about how the Government’s getting on with its 25-year plan to improve the environment. We’re talking fertiliser all this week and bought-in fertiliser has a massive price tag for farmers at the moment, so there’s growing interest in finding ways to reduce reliance on it. For livestock and mixed farmers that might mean using more animal manure, but if you’re an arable farmer without livestock, you can use companion cropping. That’s growing two or more crops together, one of which will help fertilise the land. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
