Dairy sector profit still on the table, but margin gap tightens
DairyNZ’s latest Econ Tracker update shows most farms will still finish the season in a positive position, although the gap has narrowed compared with early season expectations.
When questioned about the folly of this stance, the likes of B+LNZ and DairyNZ have claimed 'it is better to be at the table than not' - arguing that any criticism or push back against the current government would not serve the industry well.
However, your old mate suggests that by the looks of the Government's farm emissions proposal, not only were B+LNZ and DairyNZ at the table, they were actually served up as the main course!
Meanwhile, B+LNZ and DairyNZ's very late to the party criticism of the proposed farm emissions plan looks far too little, far too late!
