	Description:		As many as one and half thousand tractors have converged on Westminster as farmers continue their protest over the Government's plan to re-introduce inheritance tax on farm business assets from next year. The Government says imposing the tax on farms worth more than a million pounds is fair, and will raise much needed public funds. But some farmers argue the move could see family farms put out of business. And as part of a week long feature, we're hearing from rural community champions - the unsung heroes who are making a real difference in their villages and towns. In this episode, we hear from Andy and Lynda Eadon, who started campaigning for better awareness of mental health in agriculture after their son, Leonard, took his own life three years ago. He was 22 and had just finished his agriculture degree. Presented by Anna Hill Produced by Heather Simons
