Farms could close their doors to visitors, following a report into last years E.Coli outbreaks at Godstone Farm. 93 people contracted a deadly strain of the disease. The manager of Co-op farms tells Anna Hill any extra regulation would be a burden on famers.
And Farming Today hears calls from the Commission for Rural Communities for more European money to go to hill farmers, to make upland farming sustainable. 1500 struggling farms in Scotland have got rid of their animals over the last 4 years, and in Wales the sheep herd is declining by 4% per year.
