Wool, voluntary dairy code
Presented by Caz Graham. As the price per litre of milk drops, calls are made for a shake-up of the voluntary dairy code.
One of the UK's biggest milk processors has dropped its liquid milk price to farmers. Dairy Crest is following in the footsteps of Muller Weisman, First Milk and Arla in cutting the price it pays farmers. It represents the first big test of the Voluntary dairy code which was introduced in 2012 after the milk crisis.However, an industry analyst says it needs a dramatic overhaul and one of the UKs largest milk processors thinks it should be a compulsory code.
As shearing season is upon sheep farmers, Farming Today takes a look at the UK wool industry.
Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Ruth Sanderson.
