Dairy farmers to pour half million litres of milk onto ground in protest at low prices

Czech dairy farmers are planning to pour half a million litres of milk onto the ground at eight locations around the country on Thursday, in protest at what they say is the low price they are currently receiving. Farmer’s group representative Kamil Vystavěl told the CTK news agency that the situation in the milk business was serious and had not been addressed for over a year; he said some producers could go out of business due to the low prices.
