80m lost as 86 Cumbrian dairy farms close

However, specialist fear the actual impact on the county's financial purse could be closer to 100m.

And, with no end to the present crippling dairy crisis in view, industry chiefs fear a lot more farms is going to be forced to close this year.

The shocking figures are subjected in a letter to Environment Minister and Cumbrian MP Rory Stewart, compiled by the National Farmers Union's (NFU) Cumbria county chairman and Penrith livestock farmer David Raine.

It says the decline within the dairy market is having a knock on relation ray ban sunglasses to the wider economy, impacting others including feed merchants, veterinary practices along with other supply businesses.

Kirkoswald dairy farmer Les Armstrong said: "It can be a well known proven fact that every dairy farmer indirectly supports another 15 jobs when it comes to vets, feed and fertiliser merchants and machinery sales.

"The figures in the letter give you a fair impression in the situation Cumbrian dairy farmers are facing at this time but, considering how many have died the industry and just how much the typical dairy farm may be worth to the county's economy, The figure is nearer 100m."

Former Carlisle dairy producer Tom Johnston said it was a "no brainer" as he left a due to the milk price crash.

"We had absolutely no choice," he said. "There was no part of staying in that is a to make nothing, and with a vast selection in sight to the milk price cuts."

Mr Johnston, who lives at High Burnthwaite, Durdar, said some producers were getting out of bed every morning to earn no money.

"But there are those who are getting up to shed more money and plenty of it," he added. "I know a farmer who is currently getting 13ppl for his milk, nevertheless it will soon be going down to 6ppl."

Today, the most effective price Cumbrian dairy farmers should expect for their milk, says the letter, is around 18ppl, down from around 31ppl just 18 months ago. It is farmers 31ppl to generate.

The amount paid on the county's farms is currently at its minimum for eight years.

Colin Glover, Carlisle City Council leader, says the closure of dairy farms has a "huge knock on effect" on businesses.

"A third of Carlisle district is incorporated in the rural area," he explained. "You only have to look at Rosehill and Kingstown industrial estates to see how many big businesses there are that rely on the local agricultural industry.

"Ministers and MPs should sit up and consider this."

Mr Armstrong continued: "This is tragic. Dairy farmers are going out of business at this moment, and we are with this boat partly because of the lack of purchase of the county."

He warned that action should be taken swiftly because "there is worse to come", adding any particular one of the county's bigger dairy farming families, Richard Fisher of Mellguards, near Southwaite, had recently left a, selling his farm and dairy enterprise.

"He told me he has not been prepared to borrow more cash to sink into a business with no returns," said Mr Armstrong.

"He regrets the need to sell, speculate a young man which oakley sunglasses wholesale has a young family he stayed with no choice."

In his letter, Mr Raine points out there are a number of areas that may help address the dairy situation in Cumbria.

Such as attracting new purchase of processing within the county; a producer organisation would bring together farmers and processors in a bid to negotiate fairer milk prices; advice to assist farmers better manage volatility in the market place and inspiring public sector organisations across Cumbria to source local dairy foods.
