Charlotte Smith hears concerns that slurry at a proposed 8,000 cow dairy farm may damage the health of Lincolnshire villagers. Nocton Dairy plans to submit its planning proposal later this month. In the House of Commons Nick Clegg rules out a ban on Chinese lanterns, but is demanding that they should be totally biodegradable. The National Farmers' Union has been campaigning against the lanterns, which they say kill animals and are a fire risk. And we could soon be paying even more for food. Rocketing wheat prices are the cause, and The Grocer magazine warns that once Christmas promotions have run their course, shoppers will start to pay.
