[QUOTE="bar718, post: 4165178, member: 5897"] Arla garden plus is open to all members across all countries. It is in its pilot stages at present, to see how it works with a planned start date of 1st October. It was one of the issues on the agenda at the spring meetings to inform members what it's all about . Although Arla is farmer owned as a company Arla holds little information about its owners and there farms and farming systems , so although called Arla garden plus it is not to be confused with anything to do with farm assurance . It is a data capture exercise about our farms and animals with the likes of conditions scoring , mobility, cleanliness of the cows , legions and abrasions etc with medicine usage to be added later ( The biggest issue has been developing a scoring system that can be used across all member farms in 7 countries hence why at present everything is scored on a 0 to 2 basis and does not uses the ahdb scale ). The idea from this is that when a customer asks a question about how Arla cows are kept the answers are there straight away as these questions are being asked more and more prompted by the anti dairy lobby so we as farmers need to have this information collected ready for our customers to answer any criticism fired at us . In return for doing the Arla garden plus reporting which will be done quarterly there will be a €1cent per litre payment . The whole thing of Arla garden plus is being led by a farmer committee and there are 2 British farmers who sit on this committee alongside farmers from the other Arla countries. [/QUOTE]
