The future of the dairy industry is up for discussion

Two meetings are taking place in the region for farmers to discuss how to secure a sustainable milk sector.

The events, in Dumfries and Stranraer, follow a number of protests about the price being paid for milk.

NFU Scotland, which organised the meetings, said its aim was to address the problems in the industry and how to take it forward.

"It is in the interest of not only farmers, but also consumers and retailers, to ensure that dairy farming in Scotland remains sustainable so that we have a continued supply of quality, fresh Scottish milk," said NFUS president John Kinnaird.
