Milk prices slashed by big 3

Think your milk is too expensive?

Farmers now make a 4p loss for every litre of milk they produce.

You may not be aware, but the big three milk processors (Arla, Robert Wiseman and Dairy Crest) have announced to farmers that they are cutting the price they will pay for each litre of milk by 2p per litre - with a week's notice. This takes the price a farmer receives per litre to -3.7p. That's right - a farmer LOSES 4p for every litre of milk they produce in this country. It's outrageous.
