It's not there is no demand, yes its less than it was, it's because supermarkets will just buy the cheapest s**t they can, the British dairy industry was something to behold, and the milk was premium quality, because we had stringent rules on animal husbandry and expected milk quality, but supermarkets came along and with everything they sell, started dictating how much they were going to pay for it, and if they couldn't get it for X price they just went to the French/German W@#kers and bought their low grade full of bacteria s**t for half the price. Then the government put the final nail in the coffin when they abolished the MMB. Ask me how I know..... I should be a third gen dairy farmer, but somehow a 180acre ring fence dairy farm in prime dairy land couldn't make it pay, neither could any of the others, I could name 20 dairy farms in north Nottinghamshire that are no longer there, one of them was the largest heard in Nottinghamshire at the time, all within 10 years 1998-2008i

s**t going on eh - my grandad was a dairy farmer albiet tiny @ 40 acres and maybe 25cows - my old man built a agricultural garage on a bit of the land and his brother carried on milking for quite a long time, my cousin is still in milk with about a 100 milk cows, there is bit of diversification going on now in an effort to make it work better

yeh he's a great lad .... used to repair his tanks for him regularly .. when they get thin the vacuum collapses them .. push 'em back out, (once washed out) roll a repair sheet and weld it back on the outside with plenty of barrrel welded areas
