Farming Today This Week: Dairy Crisis
Sybil Ruscoe is at a dairy farm in Gloucestershire to discuss the current crisis in the dairy industry. With retailers now offering support, are there better times ahead?
The state of the dairy industry has hit the national headlines this week. With farmers holding high-profile protests, and 400 having gone out of business over the last year, Sybil Ruscoe visits a farm in Gloucestershire to explore the causes of the problem, and the possible solutions. Some major supermarket chains have announced price guarantees this week, so is there now reason to be optimistic? And we meet the Farming Today cow: the programme is adopting an animal on a farm near Stroud, whose progress we'll follow as we track the fortunes of dairy farmers across the country.
Presented by Sybil Ruscoe and produced by Emma Campbell.
