Mole Avon Credit account slashed

[som farmer]

Ok then , there is a need clearly, all you clever posters why don't you start up your own local buying/selling groups/co-ops ?not just to put money for a few shares but hard work and commitment ? like those 2 did in the early days with plenty of farmer commitment...
very easy to spout off on s\media these days but i think you had better go to a few meetings and show your expertise .....

Like i say there is clearly a need, Cooperation works well in other countries why cant it work here? or is that a subtly different subject......

It seems one thing that is clear to me is if you want credit then get it from a proper lender second thing is there is a need for younger farmers to join in buying and selling groups.

and not me because I'm becoming an old fart nowadays....

I am not at all sure I would want to be in a co-op, run by farmers, have been in a buying group, which went a 'bit wrong', and came out, selling, could be good, but as milk..... All these ideas are great, and many farmers are brilliant business people, in their own field, but not other fields, which is where things go wrong.

The establishment is silencing me as sid is a whinging little girl so I probably won’t bother posting again on a forum that I have been following for years then join and this little Cock womble piped up on my 1st post ??

You are not being silenced you are being asked not to post defamatory comments nor pejorative descriptions. I'll leave this one up to show an example. I did explain on PM I would be as fair coming back the other way

? this is getting like a TFF version of taking a trip to Durham ?????

Is that because you think it's intrinsically OK, or just a waste of time objecting to it?

If you knew him you would probably agree.

Neither, it’s just unecessary

for the survival of future farmers it could be one of the best ways.?

UK farmers co-ops, do not have the best success rate, I don't know why, co-ops work very well in other countries, I think we are to independently minded, but if we could successfully get a decent one going, brilliant idea, its the how. Probably others use, and pay, suitable managers.

fact is they are quite noticeably cheaper than Mole valley farmers on a lot of base farming stuff these days which yes , used to be the other way around.
