The UK Government has secured a deal to export dairy products to China, and agri-environment schemes are being credited with boosting the priority bird population in County Down

The UK Government has released a series of guidance papers on what to do in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Our Agriculture and Environment Correspondent Conor Macauley explains what it may mean for farming.

We'll hear from International Trade Secretary Liam Fox on a new deal to export UK dairy products to China, and get reaction from Dr Mike Johnston from the Dairy Council for Northern Ireland on whether it will benefit the local dairy industry.

The latest stage of the Environmental Farming Scheme opened earlier this week, and the RSPB NI is crediting it with helping bolster the breeding population of some priority farmland birds. Conservation Advisor Sean Woods explains how environmentally friendly farming can benefit wildlife, and we'll hear from farmer Jack Kelly on why he has embraced the practice.
