Protests by farmers against retailers are to be held over the next few weeks. Farmers For Action is warning of demonstrations targeting supermarkets, which it claims are not paying enough for produce, particularly milk. The group, which has over a thousand members, says it will hold a substantial number of demonstrations from now until Christmas. It's not clear what form the protests will take, though supermarket distribution centres have already been targeted. Farmers For Action say the action will escalate if retailers, the Government and the farming community do not sit down and discuss how to give farmers a fairer price for their goods.
