Gotta lotta bottle

With the wholesale price of milk curdling, and many dairy farms in Wales going out of business, farmers in north Wales are finding a better whey of selling their milk.

Many dairy farmers are threatening to go out of business, claiming the price they're paid for their milk puts their future in the balance.

Can they actualy do anything about it and is it possible for farmers to take more control over their livelihoods?

That's exactly what 180 farmers in north Wales have done by becoming part Wales' largest dairy co-operative.

We follow the milk, from the cow, to South Caernarfon Creamery near Pwllheli, as it's turned into cheese, or taken in a pint bottle to the doorstep.
