After two years without a government, Northern Ireland's got a minister for agriculture and the environment again. We speak to Andrew Muir, who's just started his new job at DAERA - the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs. His in-tray is bulging with a raft of issues: farming subsidy changes, environmental concerns and bovine TB, among other things. Anna Hill speaks to the Ulster Farmers' Union about what they want from the new minister, and also to Northern Ireland Environment Link - a coalition of conservation groups.

All week we’re looking at the business of farming. Paperwork is a big part of the job and one firm which was set up to assist farmers with their form-filling says it’s been inundated with requests for help. The Herefordshire-based company says many farmers feel burdened and isolated by the sheer amount of red tape involved in the modern farming industry.
