Foot and Mouth

Agriculture Minister Elliot Morley (R) watches a milk tanker go through a high pressure wash before being disinfected at the Zenith Milk distribution centre near Thirsk, North Yorkshire as part of the North Yorkshire foot-and-mouth precautions. * Around 900 square miles of farmland has been included in a biosecurity zone situated around the Vale of York with a further buffer zone created around that, amid fears that foot-and-mouth disease could spread to highly populated pig breeding areas in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
