ASDA covers the cost of price cuts to dairy farmers. Will Morrisons and the Co-op follow?

The latest news about farming. As ASDA revokes proposed price cuts to dairy farmers, the NFU says it still wants all price cuts since May to be abandoned. Anna Hill investigates.

As ASDA promises a premium to cover August price cuts to dairy farmers, the National Farmers' Union say they still want all price cuts since May to be abandoned before they'll be satisfied. 
Anna Hill asks Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee Chairman, Anne McIntosh, if she feels Morrisons and The Co-operative should follow. 

And as more heavy rain is expected, many pastures in England remain waterlogged. The conditions have meant disruption for David Cotton's herd near Glastonbury and for Farming Today's adopted dairy cow on his farm. As Sarah Swadling finds out, Bradley Cora is back inside and on a costly winter footing.

Presenter: Anna Hill Producer: Clare Freeman BBC Birmingham.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
