The retailers are coming for your carbon/biodiversity credits. How long before these things become a condition of market access like Red Tractor?

Surely they would be better off spending their time on getting back to a market leading milk price rather than playing the card so early on they had tucked up their sleeve. Retailers are always one step ahead. Once one does it it will be an industry standard thing for them to sell your milk. Then no one gains except the retailer (again!).

We’ve got ‘em. Supermarkets need ‘em. If they want to pay for ‘em then I don’t have a problem. Looks like ‘they’ (via BRC and RT, with the acquiescence of NFU) want them by stealth, as a condition of us being allowed to continue trading.

The whole thing stinks.

Arla are shafting dairy U.K.

Are the NFU involved in any way with this? It looks like a deal between Arla, a milk co-op, and their retail customers, using the data that it collects well beyond RT.

Exactly, which is why a number of European farmers are forming an alliance to maintain the value of all things regenerative, whatever this turns out to be, in farmers’ ownership. There should be some news of the details after a meeting in Germany next month.

the only silver lining might be that the smarkets actually do the grass farmer a favour and put a value on grassland carbon because no other fecker seems to want to.

I think you’ll find this is the smarkets getting their hands on grassland carbon for an absolute pittance before they quickly remove said pittance and then force "net zero" cuts on all. And painting themselves as the good guys in so doing. Arla have basically bent everyone’s heads over and pulled down their pants. And still some don’t see it.

The guy you’re finishing them for sells them in a live mart I suppose?

You have your little place in the chain, you’re either just to daft to see it, or ignorant of it.
