Dairy farmers have a particular worry because of the way milk is collected in tankers criss-crossing the Irish border.

Drivers who criss-cross the border, to collect milk from both sides in the same tanker, will be restricted to the southern side. The northern milk would no longer be EU regulated.

The Irish government says it is discussing options for the border with the EU. The British government says nothing needs to change but many doubt that.Dr Katy Hayward, from Queen's University Belfast, told Sky News:"It's all very well to say you're not going to impose any checks or controls but the fact is with a no-deal situation, you will have a customs border and a regulatory border.

"Those rules exist for a reason so customs controls protect citizens and consumers and if the UK wants to go and make deals with other countries, it has to be shown to be a responsible state.There was always potential for Brexit to have an impact on the UK's only land border with the EU but there was just as much potential for that border to have an impact on Brexit.

Whatever happens - no-deal, a further extension or something else - the need to avoid any visible partition on the island of Ireland is effectively shaping the UK's departure from the EU.

This brexit is just like the millennium bug where everything's gonna stop lol.Omg mad panic for the idiots , dont forget your sheds and lofts for storing tinned products lol

Back to muck spredding

So corporate greed then? What wrong with producing for the UK?

No it won’t

Why people will still need milk and dairy products.

Bloody good idea best I have heard yet

So this headline is another lie from Sky News! It should read a few dairy farmers on the Irish Border are worried that if a hard border is established, which everyone and his dog has said won't be, then their business just might suffer a little bit.

Let's hope the country sees sense . Not to mention the politicians. BORIS JOHNSON!!

We knew that, a lot of farmers were either too stupid to take it in or hoping to wreck the industry. They can’t compete with global production without the subsidies they have been used to.

Dairy farmers will get even richer when we are out of the corrupt EU ....!

Is this just the farmers milking it🤔

Who wrote that may

Yeah sure thing 🙄 You do realize absolutely nobody falls for this nonsense right?

Now they see it...

Utter crap, explain why British farmers are forced to pour milk down drains then.

...badger milk is the answer, loads of them...Sky are all knobs!

COULD omg Sky

Why most of our milk comes from abroad. More remain propaganda.

Treat your animals better and I might have a modicum of sympathy. Oh, no. I don’t.

Are all the cows leaving after Brexit?

Not if the billions saved on subs to the EU are used to subsidise farmers or allow them to diversify, whatever they choose.

According to a remoaner

Yawn

How much milk do we actually export? And why would the government suddenly stop giving out subsidies because of brexit, pretty much every nation on Earth subsidises their agricultural industry in case of war, why would we be any different?

Shite

BULLSHIT OR COWSHIT

🤥

Get prepared then, your cows will still produce milk and we will still buy it !

In the war, farmers couldn't produce enough milk. Couldn't we have ration cards, issue gas masks, and locate barrage balloons in sensitive areas?

Country file is still on so everything’s ok.

Why are you chatting shite Sky News? I know 4 farmers out of 5 who want to leave the EU.

Rubbish. £39 billion will be there to prevent any problems ...

Who did this report....was it the same dumb millennial staffer bint who asked The Who how they would tour Europe after Brexit?

Stop whining

Take it brits don’t buy milk then

Did the cows vote to remain and are going on strike then ?

Changing economic conditions open new opportunities; it may be well possible for dairy farmers to move away from cruel and abusive forms of food production and enjoy happier lives producing plant-based foods for an enlightened population. And keep their generous subsidies.

Yeah like the British don’t do Dairy. Total cow crap from Sky as usual

Yeah yeah

Veagans aren’t helping much.

Bullshit

Sky news blah blah blah

Hold on, skydavidblevins is pro-eu biased. So Arla wont take milk nor anyone else? The farm gate price is like OPEC, decided by a cartel, who decides on the pricing. Dairy companies would take delivery,but its down to the useless PM theresa_may , to ensure this pricing is fair.

Could maybe possibly potentially more project fear

Scaremongering again

Project Reality

Just SKY - Again!! 🤪

'Could'

Have to sell steaks instead then!

Lots of massive companies and farmers have been going out of business for the last 10 years so let’s not blame brexit 🤔 it might do them some good if our government fight together for our country instead of just getting paid lots of money to do nothing..!

How people always need milk. Or are these the hooray Henry's who bought up farms that couldn't keep going because of Eu legislation.

Boring

Tough. It’s mean a your not really needed. Or your just shit business people

utter rubbish.... project fear... again

Farmers you have supported and helped finance the UK conservative party for years. Surely if you suffer because of brexit and this woeful government you will want payback? NFUtweets NFUCountryside NFUPolitical

Don't be stupid what a load of cobblers

Shows they don’t have viable businesses without subsidies

54Beats44 Pile of shite. Sky really is the best friend of the EU.

A cow does on overage release between 70 and 120 kg of Methane per year. Methane is a greenhouse gas like carbon dioxide (CO2). But the negative effect on the climate of Methane is 23 times higher than the effect of CO2. Beef: 34.6 1 kg of meat from: produces kg CO2e

And what about all the industry that’s disappeared from us being in the EU. And bonus it will be better for the environment as each cow produces as much co2 as a few cars

ledredman But andrealeadsom said today this was not a problem

Not if the UK government support the dairy farms. If they get subsidies off the EU, UK gov must step in to reciprocate. No-one said no deal wasn’t going to be without ripples, but it’s a better place to be than in the EU.

Might not come to tht farmers ,,we need you

cranking up the old fear mongering! PanoDRAMA WeAreAwake

Pull the udder one

Fake news

SKYFAKENEWS We will only buy BRITISH MILK I've added my support this morning to 93,712 furious Brexiteers that are boycotting EU products until we leave fully! Click on link:- hitthemwhereithurts Support for a WTO Brexit! Now 108k Brexit

What’s a part time farmer?

Lol. Getting as bad as BBCCountryfile with the farming scare stories lol

Brexiteers don’t believe the experts. Even those who are experts in the industry they are talking about.

But still Jacob_Rees_Mogg and andrealeadsom defend a no deal Brexit. Today. Unbelievable. Indefensible.

people are not going to stop drinking milk or eating cheese if a no deal happens.

I mean milk!

Time we started listening to UK businesses & experts instead of politicians & populists 👎 BrexitShambles

Why, we have farmers around here saying no problem, do they send their milf over there and their milf over here, absurd, Brexit scaremongering again, long live the milf!!

quick solution = Irish unification. No border = no problem. N Ireland voted to remain in Eu.

Apparently unlike ALL the other leave voters, it sounds like the farmers voted leave wanting a deal with the EU...
