Dairy protests, Barley, Harvest round-up
Food, farming and the countryside news. With the dairy industry in meltdown, can farmer protests make a difference? With Caz Graham, Sarah Swadling and Charlotte Smith.
The dairy industry is in meltdown. Can farmer protests make a difference? Dairy analyst Ian Potter says that it's a global problem which will continue into 2016, and that the protests will have little effect.
All this week, Farming Today has been keeping track of harvest across the UK. Farmers from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland report on what's happening in their fields.
Meanwhile, Sarah Swadling reports on how this year's UK barley harvest will go to make ale and beer in Cornwall.
We preview an On Your Farm special with Prince Charles. Charlotte Smith travels to Transylvania to meet him and talk about wild flower meadows and biodiversity.
Presenter: Caz Graham. Producer: Ruth Sanderson.
