Milk contract

[agrispex]

Hi, people who have bought a dairy farm, how much did you buy the milk contract for roughly? I understand there's specs to it but after a rough guide thanks

You don''t normally buy a milk contract, but you are not automatically awarded one if the processor doesn't want to take you on. If the milk buyer is a farmer-owned co-operative rather than separately owned, then it may be a requirement that you buy shares. With regard to how much shares cost, how long is a piece of string?

you don't buy one, you either ask for and potentially get a direct supply contract of choice, or apply to join a coop and build up capital in line with milk supplied over time.

Odd question... Contracts in general are not usually "bought"...

Not really transferable unless maybe you buy the farming business lot stock and barrel?

was there not some talk about 'buying' Arla contracts, if taking over the farm ? Or passing it on to the next generation.

wouldn't imagine there is any difficulties in obtaining a milk contract at the moment.

Think the arla loophole was abused and closed from what I heard, only recruiters around here are bottom end from what i hear, arla, muller etc not interested in recruiting, Lower payers have more pack up so create space to recruit
