A friendly warning to a handful of vocal farmers

Posted on: 08/04/20

Understandably, there are a number of farmers who are extremely unhappy with their milk purchaser and certainly one or two milk purchasers appear to be in the farmers firing line.

Ian wishes to warn some farmers against crossing the line from being firm and requesting transparency to becoming a nuisance, particularly if they are geographically some distance from their milk purchaser and/or a farmer with a history of quality and farm assurance issues.

There is little doubt that one or two milk purchasers are seeking any opportunity to reduce their milk intake and dispense with unwanted farmers who are unlikely to find an alternative home for their milk. Be firm, but be careful.
