Sarah Swadling meets the Dyer family, who are going into dairy farming for a second time when, in the last year, the equivalent of nine farmers a week quit milk production.

Colin and Pauline Dyer, and their 22 year old son Michael, have just reintroduced a herd of dairy cows to their farm near Bodmin. They are going against the tide, with many farmers deciding to stop milk production because it's not profitable or because they can't afford to re-invest in the business. The Dyers have bought a herd of Jerseys and are selling their milk at a good price for ice cream production. Presented and produced by Sarah Swadling.
