	Description:		Plant breeders are worried that UK border rules mean new seed varieties, which need to be trialled in fields in England, are being delayed. The Shropshire and Herefordshire countryside is peppered with traditional farmhouses and cottages dating back hundreds of years, and homeowners are being taught the skills to maintain them for the future. Farmers across the UK are still counting the cost of the long wet winter as they start to bring in a record low harvest of grain. Presented by Anna Hill Produced by Alun Beach
