buy your milk from the Co-op if you want to be fair to the farmers - an inlaw's dad runs a small dairy farm down in England, and the Coop are the only ones who don't squeeze them ridiculously on price.
Their milk is a bit dearer, but the way I see it is if we let the big supermarkets squeeze the dairy farmers out of business then there will be a shortage and prices will be even higher, either that or we will be forced to import milk ( yuk, milk never tastes the same on holiday, does it?)Member of the first Mortgage Free in 3 challenge, no.19

There was a TV programme a while ago which looked into how much all the supermarkets gave the farmers and co-op was the worst despite charging more for their milk.0 -
I am only going on what the father of my brother in law told us... we were down visiting and they gave us a tour of the dairy - DD got to feed the calves, she was ecstatic. I'll stick with what he said, as I heard it straight from the horses mouth as it were...
maybe it varies by region? they are in Lincolnshire.Member of the first Mortgage Free in 3 challenge, no.19

I believe the supermarket milk price wars are responsible for the current crisis in dairy farming in the UK. Norton Dairies are attempting to open an intensive dairy farm which will be the cow equivalalent of battery hens. It needs to stop before it starts.0

Supermarkets can not do right for doing wrong.
They put the price up because they are paying the farmers more and people complain but then people complain farmers are not been paid enough.
BTW Tesco have just signed a new contract with farmers to pay them more and to make sure costs are covered every 6 months when adjusting the price they pay to the farmers.If you find you are drinking too much give this number a call. 0845 769 75550
