@Adam_Jenkins2 @MikHarford @DeansMarshDairy @hillpastoral @Cruzyfarmer @MurrayHicksind4 @James_Stacey_ @NolaMarinoMP @David_Basham_MP @RomaBritnell Well, there is one! No heavy-handed regulation, quotas or industry-wide co-operation needed. https://t.co/rT1wimX5Bb

@ConcernedMilk @RickGladigau @milkmaidmarian Lots of investment in stainless steel. Not enough growth in Aus milk supply to fill it because farmers on floating prices low in confidence. Ability to lock in prices offers risk management needed for all farmers - large and small - to grow again.

@MurrayHicksind4 That's no good - sorry. Have a look at the "About Us" section of the Milk Choices site if you like. https://t.co/Ast5cOcaCk

@MurrayHicksind4 Maybe search for the @milkchoices handle. It's there but it's new so might be harder to find than accounts that have been around for a while.

@MurrayHicksind4 @ConcernedMilk @milkmaidmarian @harrimar1 @sbdairy An open market will be fairer for all farmers.

[Milk Choices @milkchoices]

@MurrayHicksind4 @ConcernedMilk @milkmaidmarian @harrimar1 @sbdairy Farmers free to make their own trades. A bit like share market. Can make your own trades or engage a broker to do it for you.

@ConcernedMilk @milkmaidmarian @harrimar1 @sbdairy For sure. Those 3 year contracts very unusual throughout most of Vic.

[Milk Choices @milkchoices]

@ConcernedMilk @milkmaidmarian @harrimar1 @sbdairy I know it's commonplace where CMPA HQ are located but not so much in many other regions. You've often said how fortunate you are to have a 3 year contract.

@ConcernedMilk @milkmaidmarian @harrimar1 @sbdairy Concerned milk factories won't adopt? They'll follow the milk. If enough farmers put just a fraction of their milk on the open market, it will be attractive for factories.

@Cruzyfarmer @ConcernedMilk @hillpastoral @milkmaidmarian @harrimar1 @sbdairy Have a look at https://t.co/rT1wimX5Bb and see what you think. Lots of the most common questions are answered in the FAQ section. Happy to discuss.
