Elisabeth Truss, Farmer Protest and Royal Welsh Show

Does the new secretary of state for Defra know the price of a pint of milk? And an NFU protest at the Royal Welsh Show.

From pristine sheep waiting to enter the show ring to an NFU protest against supermarkets, Farming Today comes from the Royal Welsh Show in Builth Wells.
Caz Graham speaks to the new Secretary of State for Defra about an initiative to ensure the public sector buys from local suppliers and asks Elizabeth Truss what her priorities are for the coming months and if she knows how much a pint of milk of costs.
The National Farmers' Union and NFU Cymru use the Royal Welsh Show as a platform to protest against supermarkets stocking New Zealand lamb when both British and Welsh lamb is in prime season.
And hear from Rebecca Evans, the new Deputy Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries for the Welsh government. Caz Graham asks her how she'll build up relationships with farmers following the sacking of her predecessor Alun Davies, the former Natural Resources and Food Minister.
