Good afternoon. Cider makers in the Midlands fear production cotld be | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
hit by a shortage of apples following one of the wettest winters | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
on record. It comes as the Chancellor this week moved to help | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
the industry by announcing ` freeze on cider duty in the Budget. Lindsay | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
Doyle reports. Cider apple trees and floodwater | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
don't mix. At Evesbatch Court Farm in Herefordshire the meticulously | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
planted Orchard could be hiding a sorry secret. With the wet winter, | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
the young trees, we are worried about the rainfall and we are | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
concerned we will not see the damage until the summer. Amongst the tiny | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
emerging buds some of the trees are showing a greenish tinge, a possible | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
sign of damage, if trees st`nd in waterlogged soil for more than | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
fourteen days the roots can be killed off. The trees take 05 years | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
to grow but there is a fear they will be lost to saturated soil. | :00:59. | :01:07. | |
Bacteria thrives in standing water. This year's budget saw the | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Chancellor George Osborne freeze the duty on ordinary cider, a dhrect | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
response to flooding in the West Country, for cider makers, lanner | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
from heaven. It is a positive step for the government to do th`t. We | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
are price sensitive and it hs stopping consumers buying products. | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
If we invest in the future, planting orchards costs a lot of mondy. Just | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
four months ago the National Association of Cider Makers | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
predicted a bumper crop for this year, the best for ten years in | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
fact, a little ironic but the farmers are not writing off their | :01:43. | :01:45. | |

a seizure in the street had her purse stolen by a bogus Good | :01:55. | :01:58. | |

the aid of the 25`year`old `fter she collapsed in Summer Row last month. | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
They've now released CCTV ilages of two women they want to speak to | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
about the incident. A spokesman said it wasn't clear if the two were | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
together and that one of thdm may have been genuinely trying to help. | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
