MORRISONS UPDATE
We have as yet had no telephone call from Morrisons. Saying that they decided to go to the NFU and told the President due to the pain we caused them last night/early this morning they are going to the Home Office! They also told the NFU that due to our protest vast amounts of perishable food will have to be discarded. So in fact what they are saying is that perishable food items in their Distribution Centres is very near its end date.
Dairy farmers deal in a perishable food product and have to sell it for what is offered to them, we don't have the luxury of storing it until the price is right, so in a way what goes around comes around as dairy producers will soon be forced to discard their milk
as many are losing 15ppl and more just to produce.
Their cows will go, ok the younger animals will get sold on but the older ones, even though they are fit and healthy and still producing quality milk and would have stayed on the farm for several years yet, will go to slaughter as nobody will want them. We all have favorites in our herds and many families will be broken by this.
So Morrisons, is why can the discounters such as Aldi and Lidl, whose stores are also full of British beef, pork and chicken, come to the table and agree to pay farmgate price for their milk, as have Nisa, but Morrisons will not?
