Becoming England’s largest cheesemaker sounds like a big deal to me. That’s what this story in the Farmers Weekly talks about.

First Milk has confirmed it is set to buy the vast majority of Dairy Crest’s supermarket own-label cheese business.

If the co-op’s 3000 members approve the £62m deal, due to complete on 14 October, First Milk will move overnight from a milk broker into what it claims will be the UK’s largest cheesemaker.
