Charlotte Smith helps clear up after the Great Yorkshire Show, and asks whether the show helps its tens of thousands of visitors appreciate the value of the countryside. A new survey by the Prince's Countryside Fund suggests that while most people value what the countryside offers for relaxation and fresh air, 94% can't say how much farming is worth to the economy.

Since the demise of the Royal Show, the Great Yorkshire Show is seen by many as England's premier agricultural event. The Prince of Wales paid a visit this week, and Farming Today This Week follows competitors, judges and visitors, to see what value they get from this huge event.

Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Melvin Rickarby.
