Caz Graham asks the body which promotes Welsh Lamb how severe sheep losses in the snow will affect retail prices and supplies. Latest estimates are that more than 25,000 animals have perished in the drifts. Also in the programme: the Chief Executive of Dairy Crest, Mark Allen, on why the milk processor has embraced the new Code of Conduct which is designed to ensure fair treatment for farmers. And how the US Department of Agriculture found 10 million tonnes of Maize it didn't know it had.
