Avian Flu, Free Range Milk and Leeks

Avian Flu - poultry in Wales are now allowed outside in a change to avian flu restrictions as long as keepers take risk-reducing measures. An avian flu prevention zone covering the whole of Wales was introduced last December after cases of the H5N8 strain were found in countries across Europe and the Welsh Government has now extended the length of the zone to the end of April. We hear from the Chief Vet for Wales and speak to an egg producer about the impact of Bird Flu.

Free Range Milk hit the supermarket shelves this week with a ‘Pasture Promos’ logo, which guarantees that it comes from cows grazed for at least six months and shows that farmers were offered a fair price for the produce. But is it just a gimmick? We speak to the Free Range Dairy Network.

Hydrophonic farming - could it be the future for growing food and job creation in rural Wales? We speak to the Be Nesa Llyn Group

Leeks - not just for St David's day, we meet the Flintshire farmer who grows 7,000 tonnes of leeks a year
