No Minister!

What makes a law-abiding community besiege a government minister in a small village for four hours? Who ambushed a milk tanker in a remote Welsh valley and pulled out the plug, and why have farmers' wives been publicly bathing in milk? 'The fact of the matter is that we are the only country in Europe that does not have the political will to safeguard its own agricultural industry'. The Dyfed Farmers' Action Group explain how the government imposition of milk quotas is devastating the economy of South West Wales, and why some of the farming community are resorting to militant French-style tactics to get the policy changed.
