At last a fair deal for farmers!

Hopefully Tesco's will lead the way forward. Locally sourced milk available with the farmer being paid a fair price. Being bottled by a farmer owned company.

Lets hope the other supermarkets jump on this particular band wagon.

Well I certainly can't argue with everyone getting a fair price. But who is gonna pay the price, I'm sure someone will or will it be the Tesco shareholders? It doesn't matter to me I buy from our local milkman, well milkwoman actually. It's ridiculously expensive, but...

Seem to remember things called "butter mountains" -

"03/04/2007 - Nearly all remaining butter stocks being held in the EU's intervention system will be sold off on the common market, member states have agreed.

Around 6,000 tonnes of butter held in Spain, Czech Republic and Finland will be sold off at a minimum price of €243.05 per 100kg, member states agreed at Thursday's Milk Management Committee meeting.

The move again shows a more favourable market dynamic for Europe's dairy producers. "

Hmmm.

Inflation figures reported yesterday are going higher, meaning interest rates are likely to rise further. One of the reasons givern for the higher inflation was milk. 1 pence price increase is just ridiculous.
