European Milk, Scottish land, rural Anglicans
Farming minister George Eustice talks from the council of EU ministers in Brussels and says that better times are ahead for UK dairy farmers. Presented by Anna Hill.
The farming minister George Eustice talks to Anna Hill from the EU Council of ministers in Brussels as they meet to discuss plummeting dairy prices and the end of EU quotas in April. Meanwhile, Sally Challoner meets a dairy farmer who wants to relabel and rebrand his milk as free range, so as to raise the value of his product. 40% of Anglican Churches are in the countryside, and the Church of England's National rural officer, Canon Dr Jill Hopkinson says more needs to be done to preserve them as hubs of the community. As Scotland gears up for more political devolution, the debate about how, and why land should be used comes to the fore. The Scottish land reform bill is a hot topic as it wants to loosen up the tight hold that a few landowners had on a vast amount of Scotland's land as BBC Scotland reporter Andrew Black explains. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Ruth Sanderson.
