n The Dairy Mail - Let our farmers be the heroes for a change - : small talk

Abstract

Does the road wind uphill all the way? Yea to the very end it seems for dairy farmers in South Africa who are predicating even more severe milk shortages as the prices of essential inputs soar. Dairy meal up by no less than 80%, while diesel and fertiliser costs have risen by more than 30% and the end to the escalation in the oil price is nowhere in sight.
