On Friday 04 September Julian Smith MP met with a number of dairy farmers from across the Skipton and Ripon constituency to discuss the challenges facing the industry. The meeting saw discussion around how the EU can do more to help, what more measures the Government can help with and what role supermarkets must play.
Julian committed to following up with Government Ministers on a number of issues raised and will be reporting back to those who attended the meeting as well as other dairy farmers across the constituency over the coming weeks.
Julian Smith said: “I am fully committed to supporting and speaking up for the farming community in Skipton and Ripon. The last few months have been extremely challenging and milk prices remain problematically low. I will be raising these concerns with Ministers and pushing for further measures to support the dairy industry during this difficult time.”
