BBC Radio Ulster - Countryside, Fishermen claw back crab numbers

Crab fishing, Chicago milk and a blackface hero.

Fishermen claw back crab numbers in Kilkeel, turning milk into plastic in Chicago and a Donemana farmer is a blackface hero.

A World Milk Summit in Chicago hears how milk by products can be used to make environmentally friendly plastic and treat wood; are farmers in the south leading the political agenda and Donemana Farmer, Thomas Harkin, is an unsung hero when it comes to the Blackface sheep breed in Northern Ireland.
