Council Tenant Farm sell-off, annual organic report & animal welfare in the slaughterhouse

Anna Hill reports on the Herefordshire County Council tenant farm sell-off, the Soil Association releasing its annual organic sales report and animal welfare in the slaughterhouse.

Herefordshire County Council is selling off its entire stock of farms, despite a report it commissioned, which advised against doing so. A report published by the Soil Association, which supports organic farming, shows sales of organic food have risen, but aren't yet back up to pre-recession levels. And Farming Today visits a slaughterhouse as part of a week long look at farm animal welfare.
