[QUOTE="maen, post: 7673317, member: 23494"] I think the business model needs to change. As do pig fattening and egg contracts. Far too much of the investment is being made by farmers with no guaranteed return. Most commercial storage would require entering a long term contract at fixed rates rewarding a fixed returns to owners of the property for no effort This would not require any commitment to operate the building (site) this would be by separate contractural arrangement. This would not come cheap. When lorry drivers are being paid upwards of £50k for fixed hours + holidays a poultry/pig site should be able to contract out its services at attractive rates. Additional item would be waste disposal. (Mortality, litter or slurry) All other services would be paid by operator (packer/processor) In the southwest the farmer suppliers (Growers) have more money invested than the packer. And by default more risk. Times have changed and so must the way we interact with the market that ‘feeds’ off us. [/QUOTE]
