Milk prices are rising faster than ever and are likely to hit rates in the coming months as have never seen before.

The price farmers are being paid for milk is rising faster than ever before and is likely to hit rates never seen before over the next couple of months. But dairy farmers won’t be rushing off to book their next holiday or buy a new tractor, in fact some of them will be barely breaking even in spite of these record high prices.

We hear who MPs have elected as the new Chair of the Environment Food and Rural Affairs Committee; and this week we're hearing all about growing flowers and in Scotland, a new group say there’s a growing market for home-grown flowers.
