Friday 16th May 2025

A special programme from The Balmoral Show outside Lisburn in Northern Ireland.

Helen Mark meets farmers showing rare breed pigs, as well as talking politics.

Earlier this month, a consultation was launched by Northern Ireland's Farming Minister on a new Nutrients Action Programme or NAP - rules for farmers to help reduce water pollution. It includes a limit on the amount of excess phosphorus produced by intensively stocked livestock farms. The Ulster Farmers Union says it's the wrong approach, but DAERA says it's needed to reduce the impact of excess nutrients on waterbodies like Lough Neagh.

Presented by Helen Mark

Produced by Heather Simons
