Concern grows for milk price cut

Commenting on the announcement that Dairy Farmers of Britain has cut its milk price by a further 1.1p per litre from today, increasing the total scale of its price cuts to 3.1ppl since November 1 2008, NFU dairy board chairman Gwyn Jones said: "Our members are telling us that they are deeply concerned by this latest price cut, which was unexpected and which has been hastily imposed. DFB must be very clear and open with its members about the reasons behind these cuts and reassure farmers about the future strategy of the company."
