We examine his plans for agriculture and the countryside – and take a look at Labour's promises too when it comes to farming.
What's hot and what's not when it comes to seeds? We run the rule on the recommended list for cereals and oilseeds varieties.
We find out why the Welsh Assembly government is refusing to cull badgers to help combat bovine TB in cattle.
We've our regular round up of the latest market prices – and an update on last week's auction of Massey Ferguson memorabilia.
And we find out what English Farmers can learn from their counterparts in Wales.
