First Milk producers are being invited to meetings with board members over the next few days.
Written invitations to the member-only events were being sent, said a spokesman, with the meetings starting in west Wales on Thursday when chairman Jim Paice MP and vice-chairman and farmer Nigel Evans will answer members’ questions.

Mr Evans has recorded a question and answer video explaining the actions the co-op announced last week to delay payment for members’ milk by two weeks, to increase by 1.5p/litre the capital investment levy it takes from members and to restore 1.1p/litre of a previously announced price-cut for February.
