In today's Farming in Five, chief reporter Rachael Brown discusses Defra's announcement to give councils the power to seize and crush vehicles belonging to waste criminals and fly tippers. It is after MPs warned that farming families were being pushed into 'debt and despair' due to criminals dumping waste on their land. She also reports on the sheep industry's concerns that destocking in the uplands is leading to 'increase' wildfire risks, and the 130 jobs at risk due to the planned closure of Arla's milk processing plant in North Yorkshire
