Caz Graham visits a Cumbrian farmer who has struggled to make money with ice-cream and organic milk, and is now using Jersey cows and new grassland science to help make dairy farming pay.

Kevin Beaty farms in the shadow of the Cumbrian fells and takes grass farming very seriously. The Cumbrian climate is perfect for producing a lush green sward, and, inspired by techniques from New Zealand, he now manages to feed his cows nothing but the green stuff.
