Milked dry: British dairy farmers uncovered

The ag economy is so out of kilter in the UK that dairymen are forced to work at a loss…is it any wonder they are literally seeking greener pastures, like Moody County’s recently acquired British originated dairies.

Every time that Bob and his team at Henden Manor Farm in Kent milk the cows, they lose money. This is because the price the farm gets paid for its milk is around 1.5p per litre below the cost of producing that milk. This morning’s session alone has cost the farm around £50.

This account from the London Sunday Telegraph gives a thorough account of one Brit dairyman’s situation, as an example of a serious problem over there… with their loss becoming Moody County’s gains.
