In today's Farming in Five, Chief Reporter Rachael Brown reflects on calls from the British Society of Animal Science to consider the ‘social licence’ aspect in the adoption of methane reducing feed additive Bovaer here in the UK. She reports on a young farmer who brought her heifer calf to Westminster to hand deliver a petition to Government over concerns with Inheritance Tax proposals, the Defra Secretary is under pressure after only visiting one farm since the General Election result, and agricultural and horticultural business Malpas Tractors (Wrexham) Ltd, has entered administration just months after the death of its managing director.
