Calls to help EU dairy industry, Ramblers and historic rights of way, Lavender growing
An EU farming body calls for help for struggling dairy farmers, ramblers win the right to call for the reopening of ancient rights of way, and lavender growing in the Cotswolds.
EU farming body calls for help for struggling dairy farmers. The pan-EU farmers union, Copa-Cogeca, says many farmers are struggling because of falling prices and early subsidy payments would help with cash flow.
Ramblers win the right to have an ancient right of way reopened. The Court of Appeal's verdict relates to a two hundred year old Enclosure Act, and twenty years of campaigning on the part of a veteran rambler.
Also, lavender growing in the Cotswolds, where one farmer finds that it's more lucrative to cultivate than cereals.
