Dairy farmers left feeling ‘numb’ after latest price cut

Dairy farmers have been left in the lurch after another cut to the price of milk.

Australia’s largest milk processor Murray Goulburn will pay $4.31 for a kilogram of milk from July 1, having already cut the price last season.

Mr Jenkins said banks were probably feeling a bit numb too.
