Britain's biggest supermarket Tesco has sparked a price war over milk, by slashing prices to just £1 for a four pint carton.

What about the farmers? I remember a year ago a story about the way the major supermarket chains (apart from M&S and one of the bigger chains whose name escapes me - might be Morrisons) where forcing farmers into selling milk at a ridiculously low margin to the point where they were simply looking to stop selling it. This move seems good for everyone else, especially those struggling to afford food, but unless the hit is being taken by Tesco and not leading to reduced income for the farmers then it could be damaging in the long run.
