UK Dairy Day

BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, UK Dairy Day

Farming Today broadcasts from the first UK Dairy Day, at Telford in Shropshire.

In this special programme, Farming Today broadcasts from the first UK Dairy Day, at Telford in Shropshire. Presented by Charlotte Smith.

Charlotte Smith travels to Telford in Shropshire, for a special edition of Farming Today from the first UK Dairy Day. She meets dairy farmers and specialists and hears their concerns about the state of the dairy industry, amid a background of falling milk prices in the UK. Much of the drop is being blamed on global commodity prices and the Russian ban on food imports from the EU, but is that just an excuse? She also hears from producers who are optimistic about the future, and think this is a good time to invest.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Campbell.
