omsco milk goes to coffee shops and other food outlets you will find that your milk price will go down.

I know of two other organic milk suppliers that are far more reliant on the service sector.

It will all have a knock on effect for everyone!

guv cannot help every one, it's done a hell of a job so far, even if 'bits' are wrong, they are trying hard.
Personally, I think they should help, we cannot blame processers for unexpectedly losing their market overnight, despite other criticisms of them. The cause, was c19, and guv lockdown. But, with talk of c19 being unstoppable, until a vaccine is produced, it will circulate, every time restrictions ease, as it is already widely present. How that will effect global trade, no one knows, how many countries will close their borders ? How many people are going to be sick, at any one time ? How will it effect ports, distribution centres etc ? We all know how accountants work, don't hold stocks, only order when you need it, principle, as I said earlier, chap drove their camper van from spain through france, nothing open, deserted roads, so 'stuff' is not moving. Add on a massive global recession, on top of this virus, nothing will be the same after. So, as hard as it is, with dumping milk etc, imports may rapidly change, and we may be called on, to produce more, at the moment, it is c19, and processors in the publics eye, what sympathy, would we get, if it was seen, to be farmers dumping milk ? The main problem, is, no-one knows how long c19 will last, what damage it will do, how individual nations will re-act, will borders close ? how will transport be affected, if they are ? We are fighting a war, against a virus, and at the moment, we are losing.

No market? Isn't it all about spread of risk?
Old saying not all eggs in one basket?

c19 isn't our fault, some processors are fine, although they will drop the price asap.
but sid is right, some have sold their souls, to one major sector, and have caught a headache. It does show a peculiar trend, coffee shops, hotels etc, are a sector, with enormous mark ups, obviously didn't manage to grab any of those mark ups,

until c19 it seemed better than been dependent on a supermarket ..
