Bovine TB and Pears


Farmers welcome new rules on the movement of TB restricted cattle and we visit a dairy farm in Pembrokeshire that's taking part in a new pilot project finding new ways of tackling the disease. We hear how "leaky dams" on the River Teme to manage the flow of water to prevent floods over in Shropshire can also be beneficial to farmers upstream in Wales. A Radnorshire farmer takes time out from the harvest to highlight the beauty of the mountain blackbird - the Ring Ouzel .....and the orchard trials in Machynlleth to grow to pears for both Perry and eating, with a little help from Willow!
