Dairy Industry
Anna Hill meets a dairy farmer diversifying into bottling his own milk and making his own cheese, against the background of a dairy industry in crisis.
Anna Hill is in Norfolk to meet a dairy farmer who's diversifying into bottling his own milk and making his own cheese, against the background of a dairy industry in crisis. Jonny and Dulcie Crickmore say the farmgate price they were getting from processors for their liquid milk wasn't enough to sustain the business long term.
We also hear from a farmer hoping to make retailers sit up and take notice of his 'free range dairy' initiative in the hope it'll put some of the value back into milk.
And the chair of the cooperative processor First Milk assesses the future of the company, two weeks after announcing it was delaying payment to its 1100 suppliers amid difficult global trading conditions.
