[QUOTE="it's not over, post: 7087060, member: 5103"] No dairy needs a pat on the back for paying a 1990s price. Dairy farming has been good to me but not in last 6-7 years. No young dairy farmer can do what was done in 90s and 00s. My son is only 9 but if he has the ability to stay at school and uni , I will not be encouraging him to milk cows. If his choice is farming very good. Theres nothing wrong with the fundamentals of milk production. That part works very well. It's the sales side. Maybe a fixed price contract is the way forward but certainly nothing under 30p. Ultimately it's a cheap food policy we are competing against. Happy voters. No votes in high food prices. That's why a sfp will continue in some fashion, used simply to control food and food producers. Margaret becket said in the 90s...the world will be our bread basket. Even during brexit....we dont need farmers. CAP came about because of the starvation of europe after the war. No one is hungry enough to care. Our only tool left is eah farmer to reduce supplies but I may as well talk to children let loose in a sweetie shop. Greed is often confused with ambition What we are seeing atm is the death of the American century and the rise of Asia. So look east son [/QUOTE]
