Cuddling cows
OPINION: Years of floods and low food prices have driven a dairy farm in England's northeast to stop milking its cows and instead charge visitors to cuddle them.
With Fonterra’s Global Dairy Trade auction suffering 10 straight price drops some industry leaders are calling for similar radical action in the hope this would arrest the decline in prices.
It might work but the damage to GDT’s reputation as the global benchmark for dairy prices would be tarnished. Are Fonterra directors bold enough for such a move?
