Brussels Protest

Photo story: UK Farmers join Brussels Protest

We went along to the Brussels Protest to join some of the 5000 european farmers that have gathered outside the European Commission to demonstrate against record low prices for milk and meat. The majority of farmers I met were campaigning for some form of market intervention to restrict supply and help increase prices.

You can listen to a series of short interviews of several of the people featured in the photo story in Episode 4 of Farmerama Radio 

At times the largely peaceful protest escalated with a couple of daring farmers taking on the Brussels riot police in their John Deere tractors..
