Farming Today

Charlotte Smith hears claims from the RSPCA that chickens from Thailand enjoy better welfare than British birds. But the British Poultry Council disagrees and tells Farming Today that UK chickens have world-leading welfare. And as government plans to increase spending on farm wildlife schemes by millions of pounds, a visit to Cumbria shows how farmers can cash in. But farming minister Jim Paice admits not enough is being done by government to check these schemes are value for money. Presented by Charlotte Smith, produced by Melvin Rickarby.
