School children produce heartwarming video highlighting issues facing British dairy farmers due to the Covid-19 pandemic

It comes as the Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers (RABDF) and the NFU recently highlighted Government shortfalls in their responses to an EFRA evidence call, with the exclusion of some of the worst affected farmers from the Dairy Response Fund and lack of support for the non-bovine sector.

Commenting on the video, RABDF managing director, Matthew Knight, said: “It is great to see children as young as eight being educated about the British dairy industry, the struggles farmers face, and the importance of buying British.

"As well as being an education piece, the messages of support to our dairy farmers are heart-warming and the video creates a sense of purpose as to why the long hours, market turmoil and ongoing battles with policy, animal health issues, and finances are worth it.”
