Dairy, Agricultural Engineers, Lambing

A report out by the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee, is calling on the government for more help to protect UK dairy farmers from volatile milk prices. Anna Hill speaks to the chair of the committee, MP Anne McIntosh.

Although thousands of farmers will gather at the UK's largest farm machinery and equipment show this week, there is a shortage of UK agricultural engineers in the industry. This is according to a survey carried out the Landbased Engineering Training and Education Committee. Farming Today asks why and whether the situation will improve in coming years.

And as the lambing season has started for some farmers, dog owners are being reminded to act responsibly. For outdoor flocks, the pregnant ewes are out in the fields and can be vulnerable victims.
