Milk price row: Farmers and processors 'agree deal'
Dairy farmers and the processing firms they supply have agreed on the broad principles of a deal in their dispute over prices, the government says.
The agreement relates to farmers' contracts with buyers, and is designed to give farmers more bargaining power.
Farming Minister Jim Paice has been chairing a meeting between the National Farmers Union and Dairy UK, at the Royal Welsh Show, in Powys.
The meeting followed protests over the price farmers are paid for milk.

I don't begrudge paying more for milk anyway. Its important that what dairy farmers do is economic.
