Ulster Farmers' Union president Ivor Ferguson said The Group has warned that a no-deal Brexit would be "disastrous" for farmers

About 800 million litres of milk are processed in The Republic of Ireland from Northern Ireland each year.

According to BBC Newsnight, The Fear among producers in Northern Ireland is that, if No Agreement is reached and traditional trading relationships with The South become difficult, the country will be left with a glut of milk that it will not be able to process or sell.

Mr Ferguson said the UFU has been in contact with politicians, both locally and in Westminster, "to make our case that a no-deal Brexit would be disastrous for farmers".

"Farmers' reserves are at their lowest now because farming hasn't been profitable this year in a lot of the sectors," he said.

"If milk had to face a tariff, the only way that milk would go across The Border would be if the government stepped up and paid a tariff, and that's assuming The Republic of Ireland would accept The Milk .

"We are asking for advice on How To handle this. "
