Mobile Milking

BBC Radio 4 - On Your Farm, Mobile Milking

Sarah Swadling investigates how two new farmers are making money from mobile milking.

Sarah Swadling is in Dorset to find out how two young farmers have found a way to get into dairy farming without all the costs involved.

Getting into farming is becoming increasingly difficult, with the high price of land and the costs involved. But for this week's On Your Farm, we are in Dorset to find out how two young farmers have found a way to get into dairy farming without all the costs involved - and it's all down to mobile milking. For the last 6 months, Tom Foot and Neil Grigg have been using a mobile milking parlour to milk their cows. And it's not just the milking parlour which is mobile. Everything they own from the offices to the water troughs can be moved on wheels. Presented by Sarah Swadling. Produced by Anna Varle.
