[QUOTE="Frank-the-Wool, post: 7854230, member: 699"] Just to remind you that BW does not influence the price as it is sold at public auction and the value of the wool by grade in that marketing year is returned to the producer less the marketing costs. The only influence BW have on the return to the farmer is to keep the costs as low as possible. It is true that costs have been saved by closing depots and reducing staff numbers which has been accelerated due to the effects of the collapse in the market due to C19. Unfortunately BW costs are directly related to the volume of wool that it takes in. The more it handles the lower the costs. It is unfortunate that the haulage charges are being picked up by everyone as [USER=348]@neilo[/USER] says those of us who deliver it ourselves are subsiding the costs. However as BW is effectively a Co-op we should perhaps accept it as it is "our" business and many of the critics may have missed the fact that the Board Members are mostly farmers and were elected by you the wool producers.
