Welsh Dairy, Badger Collars, Fish Quotas

BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, Welsh Dairy, Badger Collars, Fish Quotas

What next for Welsh dairy farmers? Presented by Anna Hill.

As protests about milk prices continue across England, the Welsh government launch their own review into the health of the Welsh dairy industry, but will it help dairy farmers?

As we focus on the apple and pear harvest, we meet the people behind a Fife fruit market, where the apples are grown just across the street, and have been for 800 years. The amount of mackerel Scottish fisherman can 'bank' has been increased - Scottish Pelagic Fishermen's Association says this will help them recover from the impact of the Russian export ban. 
As the culling of badgers in Somerset and Gloucestershire reaches its final week, so does the first year of a bovine TB research project in Northern Ireland, where badgers are being tracked used GPS collars. Will this help to eradicate TB in on farms?
And as protests about milk prices continue across England, the Welsh government launch their own review into the health of the Welsh dairy industry, but will it help dairy farmers?
Presented by Anna Hill and Produced by Marie Lennon.

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