This agreement will give us the architecture we need to make sure that we don't end up with the same dysfunctional markets that are responsible for the dairy crisis we have today. The farming community is more united than ever before and the strength of feeling on this dairy issue is increasing and not decreasing. We will spend the rest of this month collectively throwing 100% of our efforts into reversing the price cuts from earlier this year and rescinding the ones on the horizon on August 1.
Dairy farmers have agreed the outline of a deal with processing firms to end a bitter dispute over milk prices.
Dairy farmers blockaded milk processing plants for a second night as they continued to show their anger at milk prices.
