Milk processors face 'wrath of farmers' if they don't reverse price cut

Another major milk processor has announced that it will not go ahead with a cut next week in the price it pays farmers for its milk. Arla Foods, which includes the Cravendale milk brand, says the decision follows 'an unprecedented two weeks of activity within the industry'.

The announcement comes after similar decisions by First Milk and Dairy Crest. The Farmers' Union of Wales is now calling on all other milk processors to follow their example 'or face the wrath of the industry'.
