A 50 billion-pound takeover, ice cream made from buffalo milk and more on the State of Nature report

BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, A 50 billion-pound takeover, ice cream made from buffalo milk and more on the State of Nature report

The Monsanto-Bayer merger; a farm's efforts to help stone-curlews; buffalo milk ice cream.

What does the Monsanto-Bayer merger mean for farmers? A look at how a farmer is helping the stone-curlew to thrive and a Somerset farm diversifying with buffalo milk ice cream.

As the 50 billion pound Monsanto - Bayer merger is confirmed, we ask what it means for farmers. How one farmer is helping the Stone Curlew to thrive on the Norfolk Suffolk border. And diversification for a Somerset farmer into buffalo milk ice-cream.

Presented by Charlotte Smith
Produced by Trish Campbell.

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