Synopsis
New figures show how many seals were shot by Scottish salmon farmers, protecting their stocks, in 2011. 326 were killed, about a quarter of the number permitted by the Scottish Government. Lambing season is gathering pace, when UK farmers will supervise the birth of around 15 million lambs. We hear from a farmer who started lambing when Christmas was barely over. And, Charlotte Smith finds out why rind has largely disappeared from bacon, with pig farmer Mark Bailey and the British Pig Executive's bacon expert, Keith Fisher.
Presenter: Charlotte Smith
Producer: Sarah Swadling.
