Tesco In or Out
Its stared already I know of one producer on the outskirts of Glasgow with great cows very good milk quality and a very tidy farm where things Are done right. If he cat get in then the standard for the rest must be very high. I still think Tesco are at it and this is about headline grabing and keeping the OFT/CC off their backs,I also think that the way that the price is heading Tesco knew that the market price would pass their 22p by the winter. As producers we have a great chance for the first time since deregulation to sort a lot of problems, although we have to work with supermarkets we dont work for them!

Re: Tesco In or Out
Cowboy,
Who's ass are you kissing? Hmmm near Bearsden?
Anyway, he's outwith the catchment zone for Bellshill.Yes, it's a postcode lottery, if your in the area AND quailfy, then you've allready had your letter.
".....Tesco knew that the market price would pass their 22p by the winter"
There will be a price review in October, lets wait and see what happens before jumping to too many conclusions.
"......although we have to work with supermarkets we dont work for them! "
Well what have we been doing for the last 10 years or so???
Maby if we did work for tesco, we'd get at least the minimum wage!?!?

I dont want index, I dont want type, I want both!!!

Re: Tesco In or Out
I am kissing nobodys ass,butif I was at Boclair and heard that there were producers at Kelso getting in then I would want to kick ASS hard!!!! If your quality is close to Davids and standards are half as good then I have no problem with you or anyone else getting in but is it even a post code lottery .

Re: Tesco In or Out
If your less than 15 miles from Bellshill and Kelso is at least 70 miles away how can Kelso be in the catchment zone and Bearsden be outside, and if its about qualifing i dont know how if Boclair dont qualify then how did the rest of you get in????. is this the way forward for the industry? Its going to turn one producer against another just like deregulation only worse because there going to be from the same producer group.

…
Not going to dispute youe geography and how them that are in are in but surely they are trying to divide us AGAIN for the simple reason that they saw us returning to a position of strength through desperation and a shortage of milk but before that happens they chose to divide us again.
We are with Sainsburys and i am disappointed that none of them to my knowledge are branding or marketing this nilk any different and pushing liquid milk in to value added that way 22p or whatever may only be the start as well as increasing demand .
