[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7713846, member: 86168"] customer is always right, till its gen public. What we think trifling, multiplied by millions, become huge sums, everything sold by the major retailers, is subject to massive research, to maximise profit, that includes size, shape and weight, colour can be added, to enhance appearance. Not saying l agree with it, but that is how it works. It's massive industry, applying savings of economy, in bulk, the less they have to do, to a product, more profit. Tescoes alone, has 10% of food sales, in the UK, if they say jump, processors jump. As farmers, we produce what we want to, and hope for a good price, when we sell. If you look at any supply contract, milk, beef, chicken or lamb, the top price paid, is when you meet their ideal spec, price works down from there. [/QUOTE]
