Arla

Have you seen his accounts?

Business watch mothballed only one dairy operating with a couple of hundred cows for base year so a token gesture.

When these BIG guy's get into difficulty, ALL suppliers know and talk and local farmers who rent land to them don't get paid, so there is no smoke without fire as they say !!

That sounds quite possible and basically what I've done. We came in through Milk link but during many of the reference years where we were all paying in capital, dad was milking 50/60 cows OAD. I moved to a CFA in 2014, now milking 550 TAD and took on the farm owner as a business partner and added his name to my Arla contract. We are full Arla members but only have about 1ppl invested.

For those who think they know more the rules for joining are that you pay to join on the litres you produced in the previous year then that is reviewed after your first full year as a member. If your production has gone up then your joining fee is reassessed. After that you are free to expand as you wish, that is the rules we all work to.
As for paying the money to join it is spread out over a set time so when people say this business didn’t pay anything upfront, that may be right but rest assured they will have to pay the money.
These rules apply to any new member regardless of who they are or what the local gossips say.

 

[Fergieman]

This is old news. They played by the rules but just joined at the right time and took expansion to the extremes.

Would still have to of paid 140k+ in joining fee and as has been said it would of been reassessed.

140k for 200 cows? Never heard it being reassessed but fair enough if it was. Bigger chuckle getting eodc and buffer tank bonus because artic tankers sit at dairy door due to volume.

That’s if he had 10k cows at 7.5p per litre. Over 13.5k litres you won’t get charged for edc. Buffer tank would only be available if there was a tank setup. artic tanker wouldn’t count.

That is what is bugging the Arla producer who told me last week........... No bulltish Its just because he is close by and huge volume !! And it has given him some financial stability $£%&

This is total tosh, why on earth would they do that resulting 2500 angry farmers. We as owners of Arla would not allow this.
Funny how people diss Arla when it paid a lowish price, now it’s holding up everybody else milk price, they getting jealous and making up childish little stories!

Try finding out where Lockerbie is and ask some of the local producers before you rubbish this story. Some are angry !!

And apparently Illinformed

I think there could be confusion over how the capital is collected now. There used to be a deduction, now it is all from the 13th payment. This year though, the portion that should have gone into the individual consolidation was paid out, to do with the drought last year. Not sure if I'm allowed to discuss all this publicly, but it seems better than the gossip already here

These were a big success, they didn't last long enough for me to try one.

A bad photo, but are they really made in Spain? Or is it just the packaging that's made in Spain?

 

[bar718]

They only got listed last week in Tesco so hopefully if shelves empty it means they have sold well and no they won’t be made in Spain, we can only assume the packaging comes from there.

I would just like to second what @Fergieman has said and stress that the more problems they hear about, the sooner they can sort them out.?

De packaging code ES means that the product which is inside is produced or packed in Spain. The packaging code belongs to http://www.fruselva.com/

Anyone seen that Arla are looking into producing plant based alternatives?! Producing a product to directly compete with dairy products produced from a company owned by dairy farmers...it's going to confuse consumers and surely put more pressure on dairy businesses that Arla rely on
