From responses to the most recent FIS, farmers are more confident than they have been for a long time, and feeling positive about the future

58% of dairy farmers interviewed are optimistic or extremely optimistic about dairy farming in the UK over the next 5 years and just 8% of farmers interviewed were pessimistic about the future of the Industry compared with 21% the previous year.
