Is it chlorine that gives that metallic taste?

Well thanks to the dedicated supply pool I can say it wasn't me.

Dedicated but not segregated? Could be anyone

You lot need to tell your liason managers to get the milk price up. Give them a good cussing. Arla are lagging behind Friesland Campina and they shouldn't be as there both coops, its stopping my Muller price from increasing.

I should blame Barbers for capping Arlas price before you start on Arla

Is there any other agricultural sector where you commit to 100 % to one buyer and you can not sell to anyone else?

Three choices from what I can see:-
Ask Muller for one of those nice 'dedicated' contracts - they cannot be that difficult to obtain, surely

Join Arla and you can tell them yourself

and the one that is most relevant to you at the moment,
Tell your Muller area representative, the MMG farmer board or your Muller farm supply manager how you feel about the current milk price level


https://www.muller.co.uk/farmers/farmer-representation
The new MMG representative structure is based on a 21 member elected Farmer’s Forum who are responsible for electing the Farmer Board. Müller will consult regularly with the MMG Farmer Board on all matters relating to milk supply including milk price, operational terms and operational procedures.

Are you trying to say muller farmers have 28 member farmer forum and farmer board that Mr muller ignores and just follows arla???

@farmer on a bike, I have noticed on Facebook now that none of Arla's posts feature cows anymore, since then I have also noticed there are no abusive messages from these extremists vegans either! Was that a conscious decision by Arla to leave out the cows to stop getting all this negative crap from the vegans?

As with any privately owned business, the business plan, strategy and final decisions will always be made by the board of Directors.

I have not been told about any changes but I do know that part of the issue was that facebook's algorithms placed Arla adds into the facebook feeds of vegans. This was having the effect of winding the vegans up, as in general these people were not looking for Arla, just getting it put in their face. I know Arla were trying to work out how to avoid that so I would guess they have succeeded.

Has anyone else having problems logging on to the website today? Tried a few times over the Last couple of hours.

 

[Cows 'n grass]

No, it's not working for me either.

 

[dairyrow]

Been on and off for days. Must be over subscribed on arla garden +!

 

[Fergieman]

All seems fine now. Was on couple of time yesterday and worked OK.

What's this about arla giving you an extra penny a litre if you condition score your cows and have good longevity or something along those lines.

Arla garden plus. Have to put some basic info up on Arla page like if you breed replacements, number of cubicles, square meterages etc.. Check cows are clean, lesions or swelling, condition score, and locomotion score. They are only interested in any that have issues. Also they want access to bcms. I guess they'll see how many cows are calving, cows gone cull and casualties. In return for doing this every quarter we will get 1 eurocent or .82/.83ppl so nearly £8500 for million litre producer. My other half has done a few now and took less than 3 hours or £50. Not bad...... but still to be 100% convinced if extra money will materialise or will this be the new normal??

More the end consumers and supermarkets are asking these questions more often and the truth is Arla hasn't a clue. With this information they will be able to give answers and they feel this will give them a distinct advantage in the market place.

Will probably become the normal procedure in time I would think least you get a bit extra for the hassle of it.
