The meeting comes after the National Farmers' Union reported that wheat
harvests are likely to be around 30% lower than last year as a result of
the extreme weather over winter, making it the second below-average harvest
in as many years.
Beekeepers have also reported that a third of honeybee colonies failed to
survive the winter following last year's wash-out summer and continuing bad
weather into 2013, exacerbated by the late arrival of spring.
