Farmers fear price cuts may lie ahead on milk sold for cheesemaking, and the green shoots of spring in the UK's glasshouses and polytunnels. Presented by Caz Graham.
Farmers fear price cuts may lie ahead on milk sold for cheesemaking. They claim milk processors may be left with no option but to drop their prices, because supermarkets aren't paying enough for cheese - a claim that's denied by the British Retail Consortium. Dairy analyst Ian Potter warns that, if the cuts happen, another summer of farmer protests could lie ahead.
Also in the programme: the green shoots of spring in the UK's glasshouses and polytunnels.
Presented by Caz Graham. Produced by Sarah Swadling.
