Belgian farmers cry over spilt milk

How shocking, though one may empathise with farmers who receive a pittance for milk produced – they have been straight jacketed into an industrialised system leaving them no room to manoeuvre. The true value of milk and the cows that produce it has been totally lost, it costs less to buy a litre of milk then it does water. However, also as shocking is that 300 million litres of fresh milk is poured onto empty fields, this also appears to be senseless.
