Farmers for and against the EU; Livestock and dog fouling

As 40 leading UK farmers publicly weigh in behind EU membership, with an open letter challenging those in favour of Brexit, Farming Today debates the pros and cons.

As forty leading UK farmers publicly weigh in behind EU membership, with an open letter challenging those in favour of Brexit, we debate the pros and cons. Borders farmer and vet Nigel Miller speaks in favour of Bremain, while Berkshire farmer Colin Rayner argues in favour of Brexit.

One of the most contentious issues that can arise between farmers and dog walkers is that of dog fouling, which carries the risk of spreading disease among livestock. One such disease, for example, can cause miscarriages in cattle. We hear why NFU Scotland has been carrying out a poster campaign to educate dog walkers about these risks.

The nominations for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Food and farming Awards have been revealed. Farming Today is taking a particular interest in the 'Future Food' category. Julia Glotz, managing editor of The Grocer magazine, who's judging this category discusses the shortlist.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Mark Smalley.
