In 2004 the total number of dairy farms in England fell to below 16,000. To this figure may be added about another 6000 for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The trend was then for an annual reduction of about 10% . This suggests that the total number for the UK as of 2008 is about 15,000. However, since those leaving dairying have tended to be the smaller mixed farms rather than those larger farms with a higher percentage commitment to dairying, this does not mean there has been a commensurate decline in total milk supplies.
