Dairy Farmers in England and Wales Report 240 Million Litres Drop in Milk Production Due to Extreme Heat
Dairy farmers in England and Wales have reported a loss of 240 million litres of milk due to extreme heat this summer, according to the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit. The heat has led to poor grazing conditions and increased costs for farmers, who are now providing winter feed to their cattle. Despite the losses, UK milk production may still approach record levels in 2026 due to earlier production increases.
