[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8965110, member: 86168"] the global price of milk, is the price, all worked off that, and totally controlled by the buyers. the profit margin we get/don't, is controlled by us, in the drive for efficiency, and invested to attain efficiency, etc. The costs of doing that, has made the price we recieve, break even, of worse, in the present market place, extra profit, needs to come from reducing our input costs, perhaps very difficult to achieve, having invested in 'efficiency', which is expensive. the only way to get the buyers to increase their price to us, is to make milk supplies lower. and there is nil chance of any sound bites, coming from guv, amounting to anything other than hot air, is deluding themselves. the value of milk, produced in a cowstall, hand milked, or bucket plant, is very little different, to that produced from a robotic system. The difference in level of investment, however, is enormous. its totally impractical for many of us, to go back to those systems, but it shows why, having invested £'s, in modernising, we find the price, insufficient today.
