More than thirty thousand badgers were culled this year to crack down on bovine TB.

More than thirty thousand badgers were culled this year, in the government's plan to crack down on bovine TB.

More than thirty two thousand badgers were culled this year, in the government's plan to crack down on bovine TB.  The government believes it's worth it to stop a disease costing tens of millions every year, but is that good enough?
Farmers are being warned to make sure they have enough feed to last the winter. Ever since the very dry summer, getting hold of all kinds of winter feed has been a struggle.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

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