Film production company, Splash Media, is working on a project for a BBC series which intends to follow couples as they learn to cope with farm life.

The Farmers' Union of Wales has reacted angrily to the Welsh Assembly Government’s decision to reject a way of distributing an emergency EU fund for dairy farmers that would have favoured Wales' smaller producers. Two distribution options were considered by the Assembly: Option 1: a payment of 0.2 pence per litre (ppl) of production during the 12-month period of greatest market disturbance (1 October 2008 to 30 September 2009) to each dairy farmer and Option 2: a two-tier payment comprising a payment of 0.5ppl on the first 100,000 litres of production plus an estimated payment of 0.15ppl on production over 100,000 litres during the specified period. |
