The debate, at the South of England Showground, Ardingly, is a fore runner to the National Dairy Event at Stoneleigh in Warwickshire later in the month.

Opening the discussions will be two speakers of national renown - NFU national dairy board chairman Gwyn Jones, himself a West Sussex farmer, and Farmers For Action Chairman David Handley.

Farmers from across the South will be asked to give their views on ways to improve relations in the supply chain so producers can gain a better price for their products. The NFU has already identified ways that milk producers can help themselves in its recent Vision For The Dairy Industry.
