Farmers blockade at an end

Thursday, July 26th 2012 01:00

The blockade at a milk processing plant in Derbyshire has ended.

Around 200 farmers blocked off the Dairy Crest Factory in Foston from Wednesday (25th July) to Thursday (26th July) because of the price they are paid for milk.

There have been protests around the country, after a cut of 2p per litre of milk.

Farmers say the cut means they now get less than the cost of producing it, and are blaming price-cutting wars at big supermarkets.
