Arla to pay for milk they are unable to collect

Arla has announced that in the current extreme weather conditions they will pay members for milk they are unable to collect, which farmers are forced to dispose of.  The change takes effect from 26th February and runs until the weather is declared as improved.  Note, it is the members duty to clear their farm drive/entrance as a prior qualification to this offering.

Surprisingly and indeed shamefully Arla report that a small number of farmers on Thursday decided to threaten and abuse Arla staff, including tanker drivers, which Arla have made very clear is unacceptable.  It’s a wonder such threats are not grounds for terminating membership of Arla.  At the end of the day everyone is trying to do their best in these arctic conditions.
