EU commissioner, Hill farming, Pollinators
The EU agriculture commissioner and the NFU at odds, tackling the problems of hill farming and at last, the proof that bees really are the best pollinators.
The European Agriculture Commissioner questions dairy farmers' claims that they struggle to make a profit. The NFU says he isn't listening to them. Hill farmers face many challenges and a meeting in Argyllshire could come up with the solutions. Bees really are the best pollinators; beating butterflies, hoverflies and moths in the fertilisation race according to a new study. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Vernon Harwood.
