Farmers form milk campaign group

Hundreds of UK dairy farmers have formed a group to try to prevent more cuts to the price they are paid for milk. Dairy Farmers Together was launched at a rally in Lanark Agricultural Centre and will be given £100,000 by the Scottish Government. Groups including the National Farming Union bodies for Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and Farmers For Action say they are aiming to maximise the benefits for milk farmers in a new voluntary code of conduct for the sector, which will be drawn up in August.
