Join Mark Stephen and Helen Needham live from The Royal Highland Show at Ingliston. We bring you all the news from the showground plus much more.

We are live from the pinnacle of the Scottish agricultural calendar, The Royal Highland Show. Thousands of visitors will attend the four day event plus the great and good from the farming community. 

Euan keeps us up to date with rural policy as he chats to Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing. 

He also speaks to Joyce Bannerman Campbell, Co-chair of the Women in Agriculture Taskforce and National Farmers Union president Minette Batters.

Helen meets some rare breeds and visits the cattle lines.

Plus we visit the Food Hall and chat to The Devenick Dairy about the importance of taking your brand to an event like the Royal Highland Show.

We hear from Jimmy Warnock, chair of the Royal Highland and Agricultural society of Scotland, the organisation behind the show.

Mark finds out about the potential problems in the fruit farming sector caused by a lack of migrant workers. 

The Oxford Farming Conference held its second debate from the show this year. We hear from one of the panellists, Sarah Allison.
