Calling all UK dairy farmers
by loiswakeman @ 28/09/2007 - 17:53:09

My milkman, who works for Dairy Crest, informs me that milk is going up 4p/pint on Sunday. That's because "the company has to pay 3.85p a pint more to its farmers". So - I sincerely hope all the increase is going to you guys and not just into the pockets of the middle man.

(I only belong to 'NFU Lite', so was unable to log into the members section to see if I could find out more about milk prices.)

I probably won't be logging in again till Monday now, so there's no hurry to answer.

Oooh, you are a wag! But glad to hear the price is going in the right direction. About B* time too.

Not for those of us with dairy Farmers of Britain - still bottom of the pile. Just over 16p a litre for August's milk - yes, this is the best they can do at a time when milk is short.

That is shameful. I pay 54p a pint now on the doorstep: I know I have to pay for processing, transport, delivery etc: but the markup on your produce must be huge.
