I wouldn't mind paying a bit more to put them back in profit, they work long hours, just getting rid of the cow poo is worth a few pence a pint!

However- the National Farmers' Unions own ex Chief Economist points out that the average dairy farmer gets £28,000 per year off the Government(sorry, Taxpayer). Even he seems to think they're being a bit 'unrealistic for them to believe they can be paid whatever price they think is needed'.
