Farming Today This Week: Week on a Dairy Farm

Farming Today has spent the whole of the last week based on a dairy farm near Stroud in Gloucestershire, broadcasting from the farm every day. This programme brings together the issues explored during the week, investigating the challenges facing the dairy industry at a difficult time. We follow the journey of a pint of milk, from cow to breakfast table, and visit a dairy processing factory in Wiltshire, where 60,000 tonnes of butter are produced every year. Charlotte Smith finds out how a time of rock-bottom milk prices is affecting the people whose lives revolve around the daily ritual of running a dairy herd.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Campbell.
