KEVIN PYNE. of Lake Street, Dartmouth, writes: Derik Weaving's letter to the Chronicle of January 16, attempted to say it all with regard to the price of milk and dairy farming but still, in a way, it has incensed me. I am guilty of picking up my milk where ever I see it .But if the farmer tells me what I should pay for it then I will happily pay. It won't be anywhere near the price that brewers charge for a pint of beer that's for sure. How well I remember driving out to my in-laws in the nearby countryside for Chritmas dinner and finding a farmer friend just coming out of the gate to a muddy green field having fed his milking herd in a cold north wind that you felt might cut you in two . He joined us for dinner – late as ever – while we all played games or slouched by the telly. Then he went back to do the evening milking. So if someone sets a price for a pint of milk and tells me that the farmer is happy with their share then I will pay it. But please don't rubbish the farmers Mr Weaving they don't deserve it . I have nothing but respect for those of farming stock and if they call out for help then we should ask what it is they need and heed it.
