Farming Today This Week
The 2001 Foot and Mouth outbreak devastated the countryside and cost the economy 拢8 million. Ten years on Charlotte Smith finds the crisis is still vividly remembered on Dartmoor.
Charlotte Smith looks back at the impact of the 2001 Foot and Mouth crisis and discusses whether the UK is better prepared for a future outbreak. She meets Leyland Branfield, a Dartmoor farmer whose animals were slaughtered after a neighbouring farm contracted the disease. And, Caz Graham reports from a carcass burial site in Cumbria which is being turned into a nature reserve and meets a family who started again with an ice cream business on their Penrith farm.
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Sarah Swadling.
