So there wasn't so much demand.
And at the same time, Russia announced an import ban.
So a lot of the cheese and other milk products which would ordinarily go into Russia are now back on the world and particularly the European market.
We have fewer dairy farmers, but milk production is relatively consistent.
Now, the cost of production is price per litre of milk.
The basic farm payment subsidy now in the European Union isn't included in that calculation because it's paid based on the amount of land that you have.
And you may not be using on a typical farm all that land for your dairy business.
I think it is partly that.
The vast majority of people use milk every day.
And I think it's also partly that as you drive down the motorway, you are used to seeing cows in fields.
You are used to that countryside created by that type of farming.
And so when farmers say, I am not going to do this anymore, I'm either going to get out of the industry altogether or I'm going to use the land and do something else, they're not just changing their business, they're changing your view.
And that touches us all.
Will it depend?
Yes, some are, and no, some aren't.
