[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8955862, member: 86168"] seasonality originally was to level out the milk supply throughout the year, the same as the old intervention system on lambs etc, and it worked. but it wasn't meant to cope with the spring grazing herds, and it hasn't. Hence we have A&B quotas, graduated seasonality. the original aim, was to keep a level supply, throughout the year, to keep the processing plants working at optimum levels, and that is still the same today. And is probably forgotten/not realised, by some farmers, when they decide on how they wish to produce their milk. In any business, the customer is always right, they buy our product. The market will decide where prices will be, and that won't be influenced by us, we have to produce, what our customers want, and not what we think they want. They want level supply, to enable them to work at optimum usage, all year round. [/QUOTE]
