How do we help the general public understand big is not bad
Tell consumers how good milk truly is
Attitudes need to change farmers need to forward plan
Negotiate from a position of strength not at times of weakness

Average tenancy is 3 years bit enough to get return on investment
We need to look at export opportunities and own a share of the brands
No farmers on local planning authorities any more
Farmers feel trust and integrity missing from the processor and retailer
Need to plan for currency fluctuations
New entrants should consider farmshare opportunities
