Farming after Brexit
What could a no deal Brexit mean for Welsh sheep farmers?
Welsh sheep farmers have warned of protests if Britain leaves the EU without a deal. Lamb and sheep meat exports will be hit by a 40% tariff if the UK is forced to trade with the EU on WTO terms after Brexit. Boris Johnson is preparing to visit Wales for the first time as prime minister; could he be right when he says that leaving the EU could be a huge opportunity for British farming?
We hear from sheep farmer and development officer for the National Sheep Association Helen Roberts, and Professor Sir Charles Godfray, director of the Martin School.We also hear from Minette Batters, president of the National Farmers Union, and Secretary of State for Wales Alun Cairns.
