A case of Foot and Mouth has been identified on a dairy farm in the North West of Hungary. Imports from Hungary and Slovakia of meat and other animal products have been banned, to try to prevent the disease spreading to the UK. A similar ban has been in place on products from Germany following cases there in January, but concerns have been raised that German animal products have still entered the UK since then. We ask if UK border controls are good enough to keep UK farmers safe.

And the vast majority of farms use contractors - who often bring specialist knowledge, training, or kit. We visit JSE Systems Ltd near Grantham in Lincolnshire, which specialises in supplying, delivering and spreading fertilisers across much of the East Midlands.
