Description: We hear from Kent dairy farmer Robin Betts who's had to dump 3000 litres of milk as waste into his slurry tank. The company that buys it didn’t turn up to collect it from him, and numerous other dairy farmers at the weekend. It comes at a time when milk prices for farmers are dropping dramatically and some wholesale buyers are delaying payment because of a decline in sales to the hospitality industry, due to the COVID19 outbreak. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
