The latest news about food, farming and the countryside. Sybil Ruscoe hears from farmers and protesters preparing for the pilot badger cull.
Culling badgers - Sybil Ruscoe hears from farmers and protesters preparing for the pilot badger cull in Somerset and Gloucestershire. This week the National Farmer's Union won a wide-ranging injunction aimed at protecting farmers and landowners from intimidation and unlawful protest. However, protestors say that this will not deter them from demonstrating.
And on this Bank Holiday weekend Sybil discusses the importance of tourism to the rural economy.
Produced in Bristol by Emma Weatherill, and presented by Sybil Ruscoe.
