    Farmers are sounding the alarm - warning the sheep industry is collapsing

    Farmers are sounding the alarm - warning the sheep industry is collapsing


    Numbers in flocks have declined from 70 million just over 40 years ago - to 25 million today.

    Farmers say carbon farming is the main factor - reducing productive farmland.

    Federated Farmers Meat and Wool Chair, Toby Williams, says the industry needs support now.

    He says if the Government doesn't make changes soon the industry will fail.
