[QUOTE="kiwi pom, post: 6679949, member: 946"] Farmers don't work together for lots of reasons. They are all independent business people with their own way of thinking. I'm guessing ego, not following the crowd and not wanting to be 'just a number' are big factors (it's certainly a reason behind the increase of dairy processors here) Plenty of farmers on here will tell you a buying group saves them money but i think you said you're not in one? Seems strange. I'm not saying your idea wont work but people are rightly cautious of it. Who's making money out of them etc. A quick Google suggests FBN have about 8000 farmer members and 350 employees, that's one employee for every 23 farmer members. Nothing wrong with that and it seems to be saving farmers a lot of money BUT you have to be honest about the fact that others are making money out of it too. Perhaps it wont be long before someone decides their model is bloated and they can get a better deal elsewhere? Hardly the one person in an office making a few online clicks now and again. [/QUOTE]
