Lift for farmers as dairy raises milk price
DAIRY Crest has announced it is to increase the amount it pays for milk.
The Stonehouse-based firm will pay 29p a litre on contracts for liquid milk and Davidstow cheese from November 1.
The increase of around 3p a litre is on top of Dairy Crest's decision to reverse a planned price cut in August and means that its prices are now higher than they were before prices started to fall in May.
The company's plants in Derbyshire and Gloucestershire were the subject of blockades in July as farmers across the UK protested over falling prices.

“It always beats me how breweries can charge so much for beer which has no nutritional value and causes so much harm and yet farmers who produce life sustaining produce get so little for their milk. 29p a litre is still laughable and I reckon it should be at least double that. If milk were sold in pubs with other non alcoholic drinks I bet the price would be quite high.”
