Dairy farmers struggle to survive as milk prices fall below production costs
  • Dairy farmers in Scotland, including Adam and Lucy Johnstone, have experienced a significant 25% decrease in the price they receive for their milk.
  • This decline has rendered their income insufficient to cover the costs associated with sustaining their dairy herd.
  • The ongoing financial challenges and pressure within the dairy industry are forcing many farmers to consider leaving the profession.
