[QUOTE="Bruce Almighty, post: 6850133, member: 297"] We are dairy farmers (as well as arable & sheep) & have a fair bit of diversification too Our dairy inspection should've been last Friday but was obviously postponed. A week ago our buyer cut the price by 2 ppl and deferred payment by 6 weeks Thanks to the virus for both cases rules have gone out of the window for now. One of our diversification businesses is a milk round. In 2015 we took on an existing milk round with an existing supplier (12 miles away) - we had planned to bottle our own milk but realised before we started that it was more economical to continue with our existing supplier & run it separately from our farm business. We live in an affluent area. Money is no object to many of our customers. Since the virus, demand for milk & anything else we can supply has gone mad. (Eggs & cream but thinking of adding potatoes) People now want local food delivered to their home, so they don't have to risk mixing with others at one of the 14 local supermarkets within a 7 mile radius of here Our milk supplier is not Farm Assured as far as I'm aware. There is no mention of it on the bottle. Not one customer has ever asked about Farm Assurance ( or why isn't the red tractor on the bottle ? ) Doesn't that just prove what a waste of time the whole thing is ? [/QUOTE]
