Dairy farmers in Nyandarua have been urged not to sell their dairy cows because of the current low milk prices but instead, wait as solutions to the problem are sought by the county government.

Ol Kalou Dairy chairman Isaac Muchiri and the County Executive for Agriculture James Karitu said the low prices will likely end early next year when the milk supply is expected to be affected by the onset of the dry spell.
