If there’s a price collapse it will be for everyone not on a supermarket contract, plenty allready in the job with massive borrowing who could get their fingers burnt too.In what way? It really shouldn't be as bad as for the sheep market but export tariffs will hit dairy exports badly.
A free trade deal with the EU will leave us as we are. A free trade deal with America will mean tariffs into the EU and American tariff free imports to the UK. Not much probability of any meaningful dairy or food exports the other way, from the UK to America.
The reason that so many beef and sheep farmers in this area seem to be going into dairy for the first time is presumably because they realise the pickle they are in and think that dairy is a road to prosperity. I hope they don't burn their fingers too badly.
Only time will tell.
