Knock-on effect of dry weather on farming continues
The hot weather has led the red meat market in the Island to 'collapse'.
That's according to the Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister, who last week announced an advance in financial support for farmers.
Prices have dropped as some farmers put more animals into the market, amid fears of feed shortages in the months to come.
Geoffrey Boot says the situation has led to a reduction in the number of animals the Island's meat plant is taking:
