Muller "drain the swamp"

[Coo man]

I wouldn't hold out much hope in the farmers board if I were you, I heard a story it was standard issue once getting on the board to drive a mini cooper with a certain Quincy Jones song "Get a bloom'in move on" blaring from the stereo !
Don't know if this rumours true though?

Getta Bloomin' Move On!

I would challenge Directs and Aligned contract Muller suppliers to show their figures as a % using 2014 as base year since the past 5 years is when this alleged 25% increase has taken place.
2015- 102% of 2014 production.
2016-118%
2017-96%
2018-87%
2019- projected 96% of 2014 production year.

Lets see where this 25% increase has come from.

There are some Tesco farmers that have been putting up sheds for 400 extra cows, not just 1 either!

 

[Scoobyscotlad]

Surely not? Could it be?
Your not suggesting its all been those producers receiving 30p+ the past 5 years?

The Tesco pool will expand itself into an average price eventually

It would be good to know how much the increase has been in the aligned pools compared to the non - aligned from the very start, I got a text message showing the figures from @Coo man but that was 5/6 years ago, and before he got a tesco contract.
Would also be good to see the figures from the retailers of how much milk they sell and how little/much of it comes from the aligned producers.

It’s not any farmers fault. No point turning on each other Müller are the ones who need to answer questions.

 

[betweenthelines]

Are Tesco aligned supplier prices not linked to Tesco sales volume? I know that a few years ago some Muller Dairies had more Tesco milk than they had sales for. Changes in contracts after tendering could have a big impact as well.

Tesco pay for the milk they require not the total the aligned farms supply so aligned farms will get a percentage paid at the Tesco price and the rest at non aligned price.

Perhaps the Scottish government have a few questions to answer to? You can’t keep bankrolling increased production if the processors are not investing in processing capacity for whatever reason muller appears to be cutting back not increasing capacity.

You just need to jump in the car and drive over the border from here to see how much cash has been pumped into farms up there.

Meanwhile.....

Tesco is to increase its TSDG producer milk price by 0.24ppl from Nov’19 as a result of the latest quarterly cost tracker review.

Never had a grant here should I add like to make that known to my neighbours who all have had them, farms with 90 acres with sheds for 600 crazy

I’ll second that it was a short period and people took the pee out of the scheme. Productivity grants like England have the now would’ve been a lot more beneficial imo

Yeah a few people got a lot of money, the English scheme is a far more level playing field

What do they do with all the sh!t?
Do you have NVZ’s up there?

I think that came in years after some of the big one's had expanded, not from the very start.
