This government hates farmers

[harm_less]

Fonterra is a farmer owned cooperative and going by the comments in the media lately many of those farmers are in danger of going to the wall, or that might just be media spin....

Fronterra was the worst thing to happen to the industry, its too big for its own good.
We were better off with more players in the sector.

That leads to international customers playing one seller off against another effectively dragging the returns down to those asked by the weakest player.
