Charlotte Smith hears why farmers are herding sheep through brain scanners.

Charlotte Smith hears from a British MEP who has won support to slash the red tape farmers face from Europe, and why sheep are having brain scans.

Charlotte Smith hears why queen bees from the Isle of Mann may save others by being posted to the mainland, how a British MEP has won backing to slash the red tape farmers have to go through to please Europe and why fingers are pointed at the Rural Payments Agency to stomach a large share of any cuts DEFRA faces. Meanwhile farmers in the East Midlands are herding their sheep through brain scanners in the name of science. Produced by Anne-Marie Bullock.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
