Keep Scotland's milk green

Being a dairy farmer is a thankless task at the best of times and has been made even more so by the recent reductions in the price they get for their milk. It is not surprising, therefore, that they are getting together to launch a campaign against the cuts and Calton hopes that they are successful. Otherwise we risk losing dairy farming altogether from Scotland and having our milk transported up from England or, even worse, Europe. How green is that? It's time that big business stopped squeezing our dairy farmers who get up early, come rain or shine, 365 days a year to provide us with one of our staples. I'm sure most of us would not grudge an extra penny or two on our pinta in order to keep our milk Scottish.
