This government hates farmers

[harm_less]

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

It may have worked for a while, but over time, they seem to be screwing everyone down. I know alot of farmers who feel let down by them.

And the likes of Fonterra fully realise that they will be screwed down severely if they continue their current production model. If the NZ dairy industry continue in their environmentally damaging ways they will cease to have a market for their products. Dividing the production model into smaller subgroups will only serve to weaken the marketing potential further.
