Fair Deal Food Campaign
Last night dairy farmers blockaded Farmfoods depots in an on-going protest over milk prices.
.
The BBC website reported that Farmers for Action, which has staged several protests at supermarkets and milk processors over planned cuts of up to 2p a litre, held a demo at Farmfood’s depots in Warrington and Solihull in the West Midlands starting at 9pm on Monday night.
The cuts, along with rising feed costs, could force hundreds of dairy farmers out of business.
