BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, Milk: From Cow to Supermarket

Anna Hill follows the milk from the farm to the processing plant.

Anna Hill follows the milk from a Gloucestershire dairy farm to the processing plant where it's made into butter and cream. Part of Farming Today's week on a dairy farm.

Farming Today is spending a week on a Gloucestershire dairy farm, following the milk from the cow to the supermarket. Today, Anna Hill finds out what happens to the milk after it leaves the farm: the next stage is the processing plant. Here it's turned into butter, cream and powdered milk which is sold across the world. 
We catch up with the Farming Today cow and find out how much milk she produces a day on the farm. 
And Emma Campbell meets the Artificial Insemination expert who has to visit the farm every day to keep the milk flowing. The producer is Emma Campbell.
