Our dairy board vice chairman Michael Oakes was interviewed on his Worcestershire farm by BBC News rural affairs correspondent Claire Marshall and explained that “farmers and dairy processors here in the UK do have some concerns about how other EU countries will react to the ending of quotas”.
The press office also arranged for Michael to appear on last night’s Sky News Ian King Live programme.
The story has also been picked by journalists in the Far East with Michael giving interviews to two newspapers in China.
