Dairy Farming

EDM number 37 in 2005-06, proposed by Bill Wiggin on 17/05/2005.

That this House notes with concern the recent Milk Development Council Report highlighting the drop in farmgate prices for milk while supermarket margins on milk have increased significantly; recognises the pressure this is putting on farmers in Herefordshire; is concerned that the average dairy farmer earns just £2.90 an hour for a 70-hour week; and calls on the Government to toughen up the Supermarket Code of Practice and do more to encourage farmers' co-operatives to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of the retail price of milk.

This motion has been signed by a total of 76 MPs.
