Milk suppliers to Norco are feeling betrayed by Coles' introduction of a drought levy on three litre milk.

30 cents from the sale of each of the supermarket's Own Branded milk will go towards the National Farmers Federation's drought appeal.

The Woolworths initiative will see the money go directly to Parmalat, that'll be passed directly to farmers.

Rural reporter Eddie Summerfield caught up with Queensland dairy farmer Peter Garrett, and United Dairy Farmers of Victoria President Adam Jenkins.
