Country Week: Is the big milk merger good news at last for dairy farmers?
One of the weekly podcasts from the Yorkshire Post
TWO large dairy co-operatives have merged: Arla Foods, based in Leeds, is joining forces with Milk Link, the UK’s leading dairy farmer co-op. But is it good news for suppliers? Listen to informed debate, in our weekly programme for Yorkshire’s country communities.

The merged company will be the biggest player in the UK dairy market, with a combined turnover of more than £2 billion and processing about a quarter of all the country’s milk.
In this week’s programme, we examine the players and ask whether the hard-pressed dairy sector will benefit.
Also in the programme...
• Gangmasters get their wings clipped.
• Buzzards are to be harassed and taken into custody. The game shooting business approves but the RSPB is appalled.
• Why infected cattle are being missed by the TB tests
Digital Editor David Behrens is joined in the studio by the Yorkshire Post’s rural affairs reporter Chris Benfield.
