Seventy jobs are under threat at a Welsh cheese factory. Can small operations survive?

The latest news about food, farming and the countryside, presented by Anna Hill. Seventy jobs are under threat at a Welsh cheese factory. Can small operations survive?

As 70 jobs are lost at a Welsh cheese factory, one dairy industry insider says operations have to be big in order to keep up with international competition.

The National Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs wants to become a matchmaker. It plans to hook up new farmers struggling to get onto the agricultural ladder with older ones who need a young pair of hands to help farm their land.

And Anna Hill goes in search of the ever diminishing woodcock as thousands of volunteers across the country prepare to help carry out a survey this spring.

Presenter Anna Hill. Producer Ruth Sanderson.

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