Dairy Farmers' Milk Hopes Evaporate
Dairy Farmers of Britain has fallen into line with other UK milk buyers announcing a 1.1ppl milk price cut across the board.
The move follows similar cuts by Arla, Robert Wiseman, and Uncle Tom Cobbley.
Dairy farmers' hopes, boosted by rising prices in 2008, appear to have evaporated almost as quickly as they came along.
According to levy board body DairyCo UK milk production was at a 30-year low in 2007/08 and with prices now falling again that trend looks set to continue.
