Milk Price Tracker

Interesting that you are again arguing why organic is better with a market that istosatisfy American consumers and has minimal relevance to the UK.

At no point have I knocked organic I was just trying to create a debate about how consumer perception is different between organic and conventional milk. And the big risk for organic is not living up to that perceptions and the failing for a lot of conventional milk is to allow that myth to persist.

AB usage is completely relevant to everyone.

It's in the top issues within the WHO

WHO has declared that AMR is one of the top 10 global public health threats facing humanity.

Antimicrobial resistance

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death.

The UK rightly so has worked hard to drive down the use of antibiotics in dairy.

But again it's misinformation farmers are a convenient Scape goat and marketing tool.

If your worried at some point in the future your going to die because of antibiotic resistance focusing on UK dairy farmers won't save you. Worrying about the over use of antibiotics by the human health industry. Worrying about poor use of antibiotics and pollution to the environment in agriculture in developing countries. Probably worrying about using antibiotics in pets.

In the real world UK dairy is minimal risk but because of the hype it ends up simply being a marketing tool.

Most people can't give a cogent answer as to why but they go for "organic" but often say " but farmers use too many drugs on animals"

What do these people do when they are ill? Go to their GP for some pills usually.

Does Santa come a couple of days late down your way to get your pre payment before Christmas. The rest of us get the pre payment before the new year.
