What happened: Dairy farmers like Adam and Lucy Johnstone have experienced a sharp fall in the price paid for their milk over the past three months.
Why it matters:
- Lower milk prices threaten the financial viability of dairy farms across the UK.
- Farmers and rural communities face increased economic pressure and uncertainty.
MNN Take: Falling milk prices reduce farmers' income, making it harder to cover costs and sustain their businesses amid wider economic challenges.
