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.
After announcing a turnaround in its financial performance, the listed company recorded a 50% rise in its share price - from 40c to 60c.
However, it's worth noting that one year ago, Synlait's share price was around 80c and two years ago around $3.50/share.
So, the jury is still out on whether Synlait can regain the confidence of investors and of its farmer suppliers, most of whom had earlier indicated their desire to withdraw supply in two years.
