15/10/25: Milk prices, what it takes to get a Council Farm
Why are farmers' milk prices going down, when dairy has gone up in the shops? And, what does it take to win a competitive application process for a council farm tenancy?
Some milk processors have made dramatic cuts to the price they pay farmers, citing a global oversupply. Some of you emailed us to ask why prices for dairy products, like butter, still seem to be going up in the shops?
