[QUOTE="Ballygreenan, post: 2916534, member: 2491"] The milk reduction scheme is possibly of benefit to those producers who have genuinely reduced cow numbers. Unfortunately, like most schemes from the EU, it hasn't been thought through and is open to abuse. One thing is clear, it was oversupply which led to poor prices. Over the past year or more nobody within the industry, the unions, government departments or the EU have attempted to do anything or put mechanisms in place to prevent a repeat. It does seem a little irresponsible to publicly criticise the scheme and ask for more milk when the vast majority of producers are taking a price below COP (regardless of how we measure it) There are, unfortunately, enough eejits out there who will have read last Saturday's Farming Life and are already feeding more meal, buying more stock and doing their best to supply this imaginary demand.
