Bet the same ones complaining about the cheese would be more than happy to send New Zealand produce over here though...

I presume Fonterra don’t have the kit to make Feta, at least the Fonterra owners make a cut on it. I am sure Arla would be happy to supply Arla branded products instead and keep all the money if they would prefer!

Do we get any NZ product here now? I think they make more money selling products in Asia.

Not necessarily dairy products I was referring to, more agricultural products in general, plenty of New Zealand lamb on the shelves...

from what i was told no there is not
thats how we had £5.95 a kilo for lamb at st merryn last week = £130 for the best ones BREAKING NEWS - New Zealand dairy farming has the lowest carbon footprint for milk production in the world – and it is less than half the global average!
The study analysed 55% of global milk production, including major milk producing countries and concluded that New Zealand dairy farmers have the world’s lowest carbon footprint – at half the emissions of other international producers.
New Zealand is the most efficient producer at 0.74 kg CO2e per kg FPCM (fat and protein corrected milk) – which is 46 percent less than the average of the countries studied. The average is 1.37 kg CO2e per kg FPCM.

At what point does Arla drop Red Tractor assurance? Arlagarden is certainly audited to a higher standard so should satisfy the retailers and it would cut the cost of the extra accreditation. I much prefer the idea of Arlagarden in so far as coop members have some control over the standards and the audit process and I think it’s a much more constructive means of improving the farms which pose a threat to the Arla brand.

I agree,
There is a lady in charge of all the assurance stuff who is sadly not very receptive to that idea.
The more people that ask her though, it may get through.

Just wondering do you have to keep all calves until 8 weeks old before you can sell them or only dairy bull calves?

The farmer needs to ensure Every calf born on farm is kept alive for 8 weeks. So you can either keep them yourself or sell to a third party with the assurance that they are kept alive until 8 weeks from them, if this doesn’t happen it’s advised to not to sell to that buyer again.

What happens if you sell through a market?
Avoid selling to the local kebab shop or dog food canner

Its the farmers responsiblity to ensure calves are not slaughtered within 8 weeks. Some markets are making buyers sign declarations to satisfy this but there is no come back on the buyer if the rules are broken. Unlike the producer, if the rules are broken its your milk contract on the line.
