The Chief Veterinary Officer has warned that farmers in Lincolnshire

will have to be extremely vigilant to stop an outbreak of bird flu

from spreading in the county after it was confirmed at a farm

around Low Farm in Fulstow with a six mile surveillance zone.

It is five miles from Austen Fen Farm, where another case

Bird flu has found its way into a flock of 6000 turkeys housed

It is devastating news for the farmer involved in.

That infection might enter a house. We have to do everything we can to

prevent that. Devastating news for the farmers involved in this. 6000

turkeys have been lost and his farm in both units have to be cleaned and

it will be closed for some time. This outbreak is just a few yards

from Austen Fen Farm With the same strain of bird

flu, H5N8, was found in a flock of 5000 turkeys

in It was also detected

earlier this month in a backyard Poultry farming is

the livelihood of many We've got a number of those sort

of places around the area so although the one that

happened before is not that far away it was

only a matter of time before we expected

that there would be another break People seem to be keeping

their chickens in the area The Carl will take place tomorrow.

-- cull. Debra will then decide what is to be done. -- Defra.

You saw him briefly in Linsey's report, but earlier

I spoke to Andrew Wilson from the National Farmers Union

and asked him what farmers were doing wrong?

There's nothing going wrong lecture. We have our high flock in

Lincolnshire and we are more susceptible to avian flu. It is

worrying is still seems to be worrying is still seems to be

infecting flocks here in county. Birds have been housed and

protection zones are in place and farmers are using disinfectant and

yet there is another case. You cannot stop it, can you? It is a

highly contagious disease. If you look at one gram of infected bird

faeces it is enough to kill 1000 poultry. It is enough to kill 1000

chickens of Turkey. By security is a key message. There's a need to be

taken more seriously by farmers on the counter? I think it has been

taken very seriously and another from farms that I been around that

it has been taken very seriously but it can be on boots and can be

airborne and can be on car tyres so it is something we need to stress

the importance of. The Chief veterinary officer told me earlier

that it is an extremely infectious disease. Is it not inevitable now if

you're honest and level up that there will be more cases? We

certainly hope there will not be more cases. This is not specific to

Lincolnshire and it is in Europe. It is in Yorkshire as well. Your fat to

cases there are four weeks apart. It is inevitable that will be more. We

certainly hope it is not inevitable but it is a highly contagious

disease so farmers they threw everything in their power to make

sure it stops the spread and we are encouraging members and working very

closely with Defra. We're doing this to ensure the disease does stop with

increased by all security measures on farms. -- by all.

The Brexit minister David Davis has told a Lincolnshire MP

the government will support the county's farming

industry after Britain leaves the European Union.

His comments came on the day Theresa May delivered

The Prime Minister said the UK will pull out

of the European Single Market when Britain leaves the EU.

Can my right honourable friend assure the house that agriculture

will be central in any trade negotiations and that the

high-quality food standards for which British farming is famed will

be a key principle in those negotiations?

it and that is really fantastic. Brilliant. We will knock out

Brighton. It was on a night when the former Lincoln city manager Graham

And now the weather with Keeley Donovan.

A lot of quite weather but it will be fairly cloudy. A call-back for

some particularly across parts of Lincolnshire around the wash.

Temperatures should hold up elsewhere round for 5 degrees. There

will be a lot of pride around and perhaps even the odd spot of light

rain and drizzle. That is we will be tomorrow. Fairly cloudy with the odd

spot of light in Brazil are generally a lot of dry weather.

Disappointingly cloudy night will of the next few days. Temperature is

always hide the further north you go. As we head into Thursday a

similar story. A lot of cloud and lots of dry weather to come, cooling

down at the weekend but we will keep a lookout. That is that from us

morning. BBC Lincolnshire will have the latest in the bird flu story and

Hello. If you are watching the football earlier it turned out to be

an evening for football fans in Lincolnshire. This is how it looked

at the start of the day. No idea whether this weather watcher is a

football fan, it's a fan of weather that matters here. All sorts of

weather, from 13 in Aberdeenshire to two, despite the sunshine in Kent. I

wonder if this six in the cloud across the Midlands into northern

England and parts of Wales felt colder, particularly in these misty

and foggy conditions in this weather watcher view. Some drizzly rain

around at times still
