Dairy farmers speak out in reaction to BBC 1's Countryfile, Scotch whisky, Cotswold Way online

Farmers speak out in reaction to BBC 1's Countryfile report on bull calves in dairy herds being shot at birth. Plus the provenance of Scotch whisky.

Dairy farmers speak out in reaction to BBC 1's Countryfile, which reported that thousands of bull calves in dairy herds are being shot at birth. Farmers say it's just not the case. We hear from the programme's producer.
Not all Scotch whisky is made with Scottish grain, and one Fife farmer believes it's time the industry was honest about the provenance of the ingredients on the bottle's label.
Walking routes such as the Cotswold Way in the west country have now been photographed and uploaded to Google Street View.

Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
