The End of an Era in Dairy
Neil and Jayne Madeley say goodbye to their dairy herd after 30 years of milking. The falling milk price has meant they can no longer balance the books.
It's the end of an era at Cherry Oaks Farm in Shropshire, as Neil and Jayne Madeley say goodbye to their dairy herd after thirty years of milking. They've been forced to sell their prize-winning cattle because of the falling price of milk. The ripples caused by the volatile global commodity market have hit their 150 acre farm at the foot of the Shropshire Hills, and they can no longer balance the books. Sybil Ruscoe meets the Madeleys as they dismantle a lifetime's work as dairy farmers.
