BBC Radio 4_Farming Today 8Sep20 - the badger cull
The government has announced this autumn's badger cull is bigger than last year's, with more than 64 thousand badgers allowed to be culled. It’ll take place across 17 counties, including low risk areas like Lincolnshire. Derbyshire is also back on the list even though it was withdrawn last year because there's already a vaccination programme running there. Ann Hill speaks to the Government's Chief Veterinary Officer.
