Hen perches, NZ Dairy farmers, Dry weather

Farming Today

Free-range egg producers are claiming that some of them will be put out of business by the RSPCA's decision to change the rules on its "Freedom Food" standards. The British Free Range Egg Producers Association says the change is unnecessary and could actually be worse for the welfare of the birds. Charlotte Smith talks to its chief executive, Robert Gooch. The last six months have been the driest winter period for twenty years. It's left arable famers keeping their fingers crossed for rain. Charlotte hears from one farmer, as he surveys his field of milling wheat in Oxfordshire. And Farming Today continues its series looking at the farming industry in New Zealand, with a visit to a dairy farm on North Island. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Campbell.
