[QUOTE="supercow, post: 3843166, member: 51660"] I have to disagree with you [USER=432]@Chips[/USER] a lot of dairy farmers are loan wolves and love making an extra 50 pence a year more than thier next door neighbour. In all honesty fm aren't really competing against Arla as Arla are on a European contract, whereas fm wiseman yew tree is inclusive to the uk, don't you think? I would like to think it's Arla and fm, the farmer owned coops against the rest which it effectively is. My honest opinion for first milk to still be afloat albeit at the members expense is nothing short of a miracle, we are competing against 2 of the biggest business' in the world, not just dairy businesses, and you have got those farmers that,yes they were looking after their own business, have left fm and made them technically less efficient, and not only have they survived but they paying a competitive milk price. I know some of the smaller producers who live further away from factories might still not be getting as much but if that's the way fm are going to be efficient then so be it. Does anyone think if Arla never entered the uk and fm and milk link merged the uk dairy industry would be stronger? I think that, [/QUOTE]
