Farming Today - 03/08/2009

Dairy farmers who suffered major financial losses when dairy farmers of britain collapsed are facing another round of price cuts. First Milk is now paying those producers who signed on with them when DFB went into administration 18.65 pence a litre, which is around three-and-a-half pence less than last month. First Milk is not the the only company to announce price cuts. Another of the main suppliers of milk and cheese to our stores, Milklink, is also reducing the price it pays producers by half a pence a litre. We also take a closer look at the harvest; what is being taken in and where it goes.
