5. Liz Bentley:

   There's a number of crops that are really struggling due to either lack of rainfall, like the potato crop here relies on rainfall, they don't usually take water from anywhere else to irrigate the fields. And even some of the other crops that do take water from from rivers, for example, to irrigate fields, they're really struggling at the moment, even in current conditions, yields are going to be down for a number of crops and the price of these things are going to go up, and obviously that's due to drought here in The UK. But there's other things going on across Europe.
