|  Mineral depletion of the soil is probably becoming a major concern for farmers and anyone else who is concerned with the nutrional value of what we eat. Graham Harvey talks to Martin Lane of the company “Field Science” in Yetminster about what they can do for farmers who wish to put back into the soil what hundreds of years of farming has taken out.

Roger Crisp pays a visit to look into the diversification at Home Farm which, perhaps unsurprisingly given the location, includes an archaeology resource centre.
