If you say so .
I would say an infitesible amount on a ppl basis.I am sure there are bigger fish to fry!
The problem is. A lot of people have invested in tanks. When they could of given them a heads up. Arla garden fair enough I can see better cow welfare and maybe performance off that. But wouldn't of bite sizes have been better and were this money coming from? Hasn't been magicked up. My milk going to meadow foods or cadburys atm. Do they need my arla garden + for that? Where does it end? Inspectors have been on a 2 day course apparently they ask the same question 4 times like we are lying. When does the hormone thing come in? (Oxytocin)
Age of heifers calving?
Calves being shot?
Where does welfare of the farmer come in and is the price we are going to get reflect the measures?

How do we pass back members feelings properly with out meeting the board members and executives that run our business? Remember any owner can stand for election.

It dosn't matter when something is anounced there will always be someone who bought the said item a month earlier who would have done something different if they had know the anouncment was coming.
Happens in all walks of life.
Did someone buy a set of tyres the week before there was a £300 cashback scheme anounced?
Did someone buy a TV before the price was cut by £100?
You have to draw the line somewhere.

Looking at what Arla want farmers to do is seems like they have the money and are just looking at ways how NOT to pay it back to the farmer.

Frankly that is one the most stupid comments I have seen written on here.

So who do they want to pay it to then, the shareholders?

I appreciate that Fergieman, but Arla publish long term guidence notes, ideals designed to give people who want invest in the future to do it in a way which works with what Arla wants, a change as abrupt as this weakens confidence in these long term documents.
I think its all great but just would make me nervous in following other parts of what they want.

Just imagine the short term milk price if you didn't invest in the future of your business!

Sorry if i'm not a die hard arla fan Fob but the money is there at least 3p to pay back to the farmer.
All the processors are the same just drip paying it back to farmer if you do this and do that, constantly moving the goal posts then before we know it markets will slow down and it'll be sorry but that's your lot.

Now I'm not an ARLA member but as I understand it ARLA is only allowed to make 3 % profit and your yr end is December 31st so how/why would they be withholding money when it would be breaking its own constitution.
I do think however that thinking that prices should be the same as friesland campina when 40% of their product being is sold on the world market is fanciful nobody suppling ARLA with much lower world market exposure was looking to FCs price in the bottom of the dip.

No but Arla openly compares itself to FC.
I have to say this here, how can we complain at these moves? Christ as a company we're trying to get ahead of the curve with exports and bloody supermarket dedicated groups. Artic access, flexible collection even arlagarden + surely is money for old rope. Or simply defining the progressive dairy farmer- the future.
Everything we've tried so far hasn't broken these supermarket groups let's be honest. Even Morrison's have gone back to one of sorts. So we are ending a strong milk year with more dedicated supply groups to when we started. Our brands should be driving us much harder than they are. Looks like they're not good enough on their own to bring prices up. That arla have decided to ramp up farm assurance demands to get USP other our competitors. Which other dairy company world wide is doing this? Even marks and Spencer stood by their producer over the calf hutches.
I must admit I couldn't make my local meeting because of tb testing. But I do feel arla deliberately had bigger meetings to stop the council members getting huge amounts of flak. I do believe they should be more accountable for such things.
Does this arla garden plus work alongside the herd companion on NMR?

Paying a bonus to larger producers that can't take an artic seems counterproductive to me?

Again an incredibly stupid comment to link to a co-op.
When the spot market is 8ppl Arla will pay more, when the spot market is 40ppl Arla will pay less. Just as when the butter/powder market is 16ppl Arla will pay more but when the better/powder market is 37ppl Arla will pay less. Some of our sales will change little in price between the top and bottom of the commodity market some will move in line with the commodity market.
However as @lazyfarmer says all of Arla's money gets paid out to its owners that supply it, on a formula basis apart from a small amount that is reinvested again by a set formula.
