In today's Farming in Five, Chief Reporter Rachael Brown reports on the confirmed case of foot and mouth disease in Germany. The Efra Committee has called on an inquiry into animal and plant health which will focus on biosecurity at the border. The National Pig Association hopes the inquiry will apply pressure to the relevant government departments to ‘effect the change so desperately needed.’ Elsewhere, Morrisons becomes the first supermarket to show public support for farmers in the fight against proposed changes to Inheritance Tax. In a message shared on social media, the supermarket’s head of agriculture, Sophie Throup said the retailer understood the ‘anger and frustration’ of farmers right now.
