On Friday, 30th of October, they will get support by dairy farmers from all german states. Some will arrive with their tractors.

BDM information to the press : significant higher prices for fresh milk expected
(Freising) At present negociations of dairies and commerce a significant increase of prices is expected. The account should be 7 Cents higher than in April this year.
The german organisation of dairy farmers traces this considerable ascent of prices back to exonerating measurements to the market of dairy farmers in September.
About 500.000 t of milk have been held back by dairy farmers during their actions in September '09. This is how they strengthened and speeded up the ascent of the market for dairy products.
But it is too early to mention this recovery of the milk market as a change of trend. If politics won't decide measurements to exonerate the market, e.g. with a limitation of netting or a partially suspension of milk quota, this recovery will crackle very soon. Already at the beginning of the coming year a new pressure on market because of prices and volume can appear.
