A Leicestershire farmer has filled his fields with wildflowers as part of a plan to help create a cleaner, greener environment. Will Renner who runs Scraptfort Hill farm in Scraptoft has switched from growing wheat, oilseed rape, and barley to planting 250 acres of wildflowers and bird cover to encourage pollinating insects and native wildlife to breed in the area. It's been done with the help of government grants with the remit of using public money for public good. Will spoke to BBC Radio Leicester's Helen McCarthy.
