Every day is a school day on tff what was your Dec price ? According to potter Charlie Payne up 1.5ppl for Feb milk but not heard that from the great man himself so it may just be more dodgey Potter info!!!!!!

If you people are too thick to understand the currency smoothing mechanism then just take our word for it, there are no losers in it.

I thought the currency smoothing was just another way of Arla giving less money to thier members? But in secret so no one complained? All I know os first milk r paying more than muller and Arla.this makes me happy.

@supercow
One swallow does not make a summer, but lets hope it heralds improved returns to all.

What a useful comment.


What a do know is they're are very few comments from Arla suppliers talking down other companies. But everyone wants a shot at Arla, never really understood why!

 

[lazy farmer]

simple 1, there the biggest and as such others need them to be any good as they set the price for others to copy

2, jealousy
take your pick

 

[cowgirl95]

Maybe some people have not forgotten that a lot of arla members were early deserters from milk marque and are jealous of all the extra money the arla men have had over the years

Really? Surely most of the arla members came from milk link. With previous arla suppliers and others having 'shared up'.

 

[cowgirl95]

Lot or arla members joined years before milklink

 

[stablegirl]

I was with Milk Marquee then DFOB got put 6months before the end, lost capital retention but not the milk cheque some did.

If that is where the anger comes from its ridiculous.

In my opinion, supplying a different company and hoping Arla struggles is like getting on a plane and hoping the pilot fails.

@supercow is just jealous, he has been desperate to join Arla the last couple of years now but we have to be selective over who we let join or we will end up in the same mess as First Milk. Give him his month of happiness getting 0.1ppl more than Arla, after all they have had decades of misery with FM.

Do you know @supercow

 

[supercow]

All I know is some people on here (mainly arla farmers) take the bait time and time again, literally winding you up, having a bit of banter. I'm not jealous, angry or anything like that, honestly just picking at all of your infrerior complex issues. Arla recruitment man is coming to visit soon to talk about a contract.

Not really misery @meekers, just focused, knowing we got paid slightly less over the years just makes you work harder and more often than not u make up the shortfall of half a penny by working harder.

My old fella still remembers who the original deserters were who undermined Milk Marque 21 years ago !!!!

 

[stablegirl]

I would have been just out of nappies by that point!

If everybody had wanted to stay together under a single umbrella like milk marquee wouldn't the competition committee have stopped or now anyway?

My old man was the same, had it banged into me as a kid about coops being great and if every stayed together we would be stronger.

20 years later we finally left FM just before their darkest days and the old man regrets every good thing he ever said about them.
