When they have driven our dairy farmers to bankruptcy the supermarkets will simply buy their milk from other EU countries and they may pay them even less.
I have no problem in paying more for my milk if it keeps our industry afloat and the farmers happy.
British is best, it always has been and it always will be...supermarkets willing!
, who have the highest cost.
A heifer takes 2yrs keep till she first produces milk. This is dead money if she dies during calving, gets mastitis or just turns out to not produce milk of any quantity, the farmers lost, part of the farming way of life, the middle man & supermarkets just have profits.
