Britain’s dairy farmers are pouring milk away

British dairy farmers face falling milk prices as production rises 5% while demand drops, with technological advances boosting cow productivity but limited processing capacity.

@amenonsen That's one of the things I remember from reading Hoe Ik Talent Voor Het Leven Kreeg ("How I got a talent for life"), by Rodaan Al Galidi. If I remember correctly, the main character only knows one thing about the Netherlands before arriving there as a refugee: that Dutch cows are the ones that produce the most milk. For some reason that little thing really stuck with me.
