ONE of the country's largest dairy firms, which was targeted by farmers' blockades this summer, is to increase the amount it pays for milk.
Dairy Crest, which is supplied by around 1000 dairies, will pay farmers 29p a litre, up 3p, from November. It follows protests after the price paid was cut twice in six months.
The increase is on top of Dairy Crest's decision to reverse a planned price cut in August. It means its prices are now higher than they were before prices started to fall in May.
