To add to their financial worries they are also paid in the 'green pound' which is a rate set by the European union and works out less than pounds sterling. Interview with the agriculture minister John Silkin about the problems in the dairy industry and what can be done to help. Views of a milking parlour on a farm in Gloucestershire and an interview with the farmer. Interview with another man who is against the government's cheap food policy (opposition spokesman or NFU?)
