	Description:		Bluetongue affects ruminant animals, like Sheep and Cattle, and it's spread between animals by biting midges. The disease tends to subside as temperatures drop but vets are warning farmers not to become complacent about Bluetongue this autumn. Anna Hill hears from the British Veterinary Association. This week we're focussing on apples, plums and their ilk - known as Top Fruit. Today, a visit to a Herefordshire orchard growing apple varieties old and new, which is enjoying a good harvest. Anna visits a conference in North Norfolk, where farmers are at the sharp end of balancing farming for food production with farming for nature. Presenter: Anna Hill Producer: Sarah Swadling
