Milk broker offers tempting price deal

DAIRY farmers are looking across borders as they bid to exert maximum bargaining power in overheated milk markets.

A new brokering co-op, “Danish Milk”, is recruiting dairy farmers at a fast rate and exporting their milk to Germany for at least 10 cent per litre more than they were paid by Arla, which buys 97% of Danish milk.

Around 800 dairy farmers attended a meeting and were quick to pledge their support to the new co-op.
