The latest news about food, farming and the countryside. Iolo ap Dafydd hears from dairy farmers threatening to protest during the Olympics over cuts to the milk price.

Dairy farmers are threatening protests during the Olympics over cuts to the milk price. Iolo ap Dafydd hears from National Farmers' Union Cymru and Farmers For Action who say that unless all price reductions since April are reversed, they will begin a campaign of demonstrations and disruption to the milk supply during the time of the Olympics.

And within the next fortnight a government announcement could see more electricity being generated by burning wood. Coppice willow is one of the most widely grown crops for burning. Sarah Falkingham visited a West Yorkshire farmer who turned over most of his arable farm to willow.

Presented by Iolo ap Dafydd and produced by Emma Weatherill.
