Yep, the only thing that makes the buyers pay attention is when the tankers are coming in half full & the spot market is 50p

Judging by the way the EA are throwing their weight around here at the moment there’s going to be a lot less destined for the tanker in the next 12 - 24 months.

Don't blame the inspectors. It's a deliberate policy to tighten things up. You don't appoint 50 inspectors to check farms expecting them to turn up and say everthing is fine.

Our old farm had 2 valleys either side. The side that had a SWW sewage treatment works in was in an NVZ. The valley with no SWW treatment works was not in an NVZ! Both valleys had active dairy and livestock farms in them

We had our letter about the arla seasonality scheme today telling us our base kgs, all fine until I see they are proposing -9 ppkg on b litres produced in May which would mean the b litres would be worth around 28/29 ppkg . What happens if the spot price stays above this price? Would the members be happy
