Nonsense Agri-food Quote in Article Below

hit counter script"Too many British producers are inefficient. The herds are too small," he adds...

Well, these farmers were producing fresh milk at 22p per litre.

This is then bottled and put on the supermarket shelf for at least 3x that amount.

Can anyone else see that there is something amiss?

And the problem for these farmers is they are price takers and do not have any power in the deal with the buyers.

And .... herds are too small!! How big do these people want them?

Lets just have one farm in wales then, that would make all the differnence.

I think these agri-food - businesses are profiting from the demise of farmers. That's the game.
