PM on Brexit 'threats' for farmers, CAP criticism, Rural payments, Cotswold pasture
Covering the prime minister's plea to UK farmers, diverse views on the CAP, the EU moving the deadline for Basic Payments to farmers, and the benefits of wildflower pasture.
David Cameron claims that a Brexit from the EU would be a 'juddering shock' to British farming. His own Agriculture Minister disagrees. The debate over the future of the Common Agricultural Policy continues with claims that the UK would be better off without the CAP. The deadline for farmers to receive their 2015 subsidy payments is moved from the end of this month to mid-October and could sowing pasture with wildflowers and local grasses improve the beef and lamb raised on it?
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Vernon Harwood.
