Moo-ve over David Bailey – The dairy community has it covered!

It’s fair to say that 2020 has not been particularly kind to anyone - not least the dairy farming community.  Kicking off with reduced milk prices in spring, we were then hit with reduced demand due to the lockdown of the hospitality industry and offices across the UK. With lockdown, came huge disruption through the supply chain and many of us literally crying over spilt (thrown away) milk.

But, when it comes to perks of the job in farming, the freedom of the great outdoors is definitely high up there with the best of them.  Even in the inclement conditions that winter brings, the countryside is truly a breath of fresh air.  And, just to prove a point, we’ve compiled a small collection of our favourite images that you’ve been sharing with us from down on your own farm...

Make way for the Milk Train!
