PIG farmers have been urged to maintain the highest levels of biosecurity as foot-and-mouth moves ever closer to an industry centre.
Six recent cases have been confirmed at Thirsk in North Yorkshire, raising concerns for three million pigs – 25% of the UK herd – in East Yorkshire.
"I hope everyone is being as vigilant as possible," said National Pig Association chairman James Black.
Meanwhile, a strategy for sustainable development is to be launched by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Secretary of State Margaret Beckett said this will identify the challenges and opportunities for achieving sustainability.

Welcome to the FWi newsletter.
SCRAPIE in sheep has been identified as the probable cause of BSE in a new review; despite being ruled out as the origin of the disease in the BSE inquiry.
An independent report says changes in the rendering process, and feeding meat and bonemeal to young calves made UK cattle susceptible to BSE in the 1970s and 1980s.
The dramatic findings of a team led by professor Gabriel Horn of Cambridge University contradict those of the Phillips' BSE inquiry which ruled out scrapie and rendering.
Meanwhile, anything less than a full public inquiry will suggest a government foot-and mouth, cover-up, say many voters in an FWi poll.
To date more than 99% of those who have voted say there should be a full public inquiry into the crisis.

Welcome to the FWi daily newsletter.
A second cull of sheep in the Brecon Beacons has triggered renewed calls for livestock to be vaccinated against foot-and-mouth disease.
Members of five graziers' associations are dismayed that the go-ahead was given to kill about 1500 sheep just days after 4000 animals were culled.
Edwyn Harris, chairman of a 15-member group with grazing rights on common land in the area, said some animals should vaccinated rather than culled.
The news emerged amid reports that the government is to allow the resumption of secondary clean-up operations on infected farms.
Operations were suspended last month after Prime Minister Tony Blair said the cost for farms in England and Wales was "unacceptable".

Hang on a minute – I thought the Supermarkets were going to educate the British to buying these cuts? I can remember, even though it might have been a number of years ago, we had a choice of lamb or mutton. You never see mutton for sale now, why, because it is classed as lamb.
In my childhood, mutton was lamb – well ... older lambs, and lamb was lamb – small ones!

Welcome to the FWi newsletter.
The livestock welfare disposal scheme will be extended to deal with an estimated 1.3 million unmarketable light lambs, the government has confirmed.
Food minister Lord Whitty said details of the scheme will be available later this month. The plan is to get arrangements in place for a September start.
Lord Whitty said the buy-up scheme should be considered a one off to ease problems caused by foot-and-mouth. It is believed farmers will receive about £10 an animal.
The minister also revealed that the government would introduce a new regime for livestock movements in the autumn based on risk assessments.

FARMERS have been given the go-ahead to resume secondary foot-and-mouth cleansing and disinfecting — but under much tighter cost controls.
Under new conditions producers can tender to clean their own farms, strict contracts must be signed, and some existing contracts may be cancelled.
Producers and contractors who the government believes over-charged for work face the prospect of having to return payments.
And payments will be withheld where it is believed that cleansing and disinfecting cash was used to improve farm buildings beyond pre-virus levels.
Work was suspended last week after Tony Blair described costs in England and Wales, which in some cases exceeded £100,000 per farm, as "unacceptable".

Journalists have been banned from meetings between government officials and farmers who lost livestock in the foot-and-mouth crisis.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs shut out reporters from a meeting with up to 100 farmers at Harper Adams University College, Shropshire.
DEFRA regional manager Carol Deakins said: "It would be inappropriate for the press to be present; it may intrude on producers' feelings at this time."
The news came as the chairman of the inquiry into the government's handling of foot-and-mouth dismissed claims that his investigation would be biased.
Dr Iain Anderson said accusations that he would not be independent because he had been a special advisor to the government were silly.

Farmers handed out leaflets at Gatwick Airport to highlight concerns about lax controls on food imports in the wake of the foot-and-mouth crisis.
Almost half the tourists returning from abroad could be carrying illegal food imports – and with it the risk of diseases like foot-and-mouth, claims a survey.
The survey, conducted by the National Farmers' Union, suggests half of all international travellers have no idea what food they may bring into the UK.
On the harvest front, spring barley has been the most recent subject of quality concerns with some rejections for split and pre-germinated grains.

Sir Don Curry, who is leading the Commission into the Future of Farming, is chairman of the livestock marketing group North Country Primestock.
Seven Scottish farms are now under foot-and-mouth restrictions after being visited by North Country Primestock managing director John Horncastle.
Mr Horncastle was visiting the farms with a view to buying lamb for the company which usually handles about 20,000 cattle and 150,000 sheep a year.

UK farmers are waiting to see if Tim Yeo will keep his post as shadow DEFRA secretary once the newly-elected Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith shuffles his shadow Cabinet.
Central and eastern European countries waiting to join the EU have been told they must tighten BSE controls by EU food safety commissioner David Byrne.
UK wheat quality has taken a tumble this year, the Home Grown Cereals Authority confirmed. But cheap, good-quality imported wheat may mean the hoped-for high bread premium may not materialise.
Tests on cattle from one of the two farms in Leicestershire suspected as having foot-and-mouth have come back as negative, according to local officials. Restrictions on the farm at Copt Oak, near Loughborough have been lifted.

Welcome to the FWi newsletter.
The chairman of a House of Commons select committee has urged dairy farmers to consider using foot-and-mouth compensation to quit the industry.
Tory MP David Curry, chairman of the select committee on environment, food and rural affairs, said payments meant older farmers could retire gracefully.
"Foot-and-mouth compensation offers a better payoff than any other form of exit from the industry," he told listeners at the Dairy Event in Warwickshire.
"If some producers don't take it then they will be acting against their best interests."

Calls for compensation are mounting after a European judge ruled that France acted illegally in banning imports of British beef.
The European Court of Justice is expected to issue its final judgement in 6–12 weeks time after advocate general Jean Mischo said the ban was illegal.
But it would be unusual for the court's judgement to contradict his views which were published on Thursday (20 September).
British farmers want compensation for lost beef sales. Before the BSE crisis, France was their biggest export market.
