Farming Today on a Dairy Farm

Farming Today is spending the week on a Gloucestershire dairy farm for an in-depth exploration of milk production.

All this week Farming Today is based at a dairy farm near Stroud in Gloucestershire, from where we explore the reality of producing milk at a particularly tough time for the industry. Charlotte Smith meets Andrew and Hannah Couzens, who between them run a herd of around 200 dairy cows. In today's programme, we hear about the farm's history, and join Hannah in the milking parlour - a place where she spends up to eight hours a day with the cows. We also hear from a dairy analyst, who explains why dairy farming has come to be in its current difficult situation.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Campbell.
