Estonian farmers protesting low milk prices by placing 10,000 bottles of it on the pavement within the center of the Estonian capital.

In the past it has been done by pouring milk on the streets or doing something far more aggressive than this. I have to say this is one creative way to get your word out there.

I wonder how warm that sun was and how potentially spoiled all that milk was

10k liters of milk is probably an hour worth of produce for farmers gathered in common goal.

if milk prices are low its because you are producing too much, try switching to something else. the market self regulates

...and do what with your cows and milking machine and capital tied up in them? Sell them to the over saturated milk market?

should have stopped buying sooner, like any investment you have to take the loss on the bad ones. cows make meat, equipment can be saved

The milk prices are low, *for them*. Large producers get paid ~200% of what they get, for the same product.

They should sell it instead of placeing the bottles into the warm sunlight

Dairies aren't buying from them. They buy from large producers, and pay them more / liter for the same product.
