A 60-mile stretch of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal will be closed today because of some of the worst drought conditions the North West has seen for over a hundred years. No boats will be allowed to go on the stretch between Wigan in Lancashire and Gargrave in North Yorkshire for the foreseeable future. The low rainfall and high temperatures over the last few months have left the region's water supplies at record low levels. British Waterways says it is closing off the canal because there is not enough water in the reservoirs to fill it. Also on Farming Today, we take a closer look at what happens to crops once they are harvested. Anna Hill learns how beer is made; and we start our journey following a thousand turkey chicks from being hatched to ending up as Christmas dinner.
