European aid for dairy farmers
Dairy farmers across the UK are starting to get European emergency aid payments. It is a share of 500 million euros offered by the EU following angry protests earlier in 2015.
Dairy farmers across the UK will get some extra money this week. Its their share of the EU emergency fund which was created in the wake of farmer protests across Europe earlier this year. The money aims to help them through the current crisis. Β£26 million will be shared by milk producers across the UK, which works out to an average of Β£2,000 each.
And we meet a father and son who gave up farming to concentrate on producing liqueurs from fruit!
