Farming Today comes from the BBC Food and Farming Awards in Bristol. Charlotte Smith has been one of the judges in the Countryfile Farming Hero category, which received more than 800 nominations. She announces the winner, and gets a first reaction from the recipient of the award.

Also in today's programme: scientists use smell as a way of keeping aphids off crops; a new offshore wind farm has just been completed off the East Yorkshire coast; and Farming Today continues its week-long look at farm safety, hearing from the widow of a farm worker who died in a slurry accident.
