A song about farming in Norway has become a surprise hit on YouTube - but it's not just about the female choir and a wholesome rural idyll. Instead it's part of an intense debate online about the future of agriculture in the country.
Perched on bales of hay and wearing green overalls, a group of young women sing a song praising farmers. The women are university students and members of a choir called Pikekoret IVAR. Their song entitled "Norway Needs the Farmer" has been viewed more than 163,000 times. They drive tractors, feed cows and eat hamburgers. It seems light hearted - but there's a clear political message.
