A NEW era was due to start at Clitlieroe Grammar School with boys sharing the- same classroom as girls for the first time in its 431-ycar history. Sixty girls and 38 boys were due to start the new term at the Chatburn Road site - the former girl’s school.

power in the milk supply chain allows


: with weather driven and often difficult working conditions, most dairy farmers ■


I those with control to keep money for themselves or their shareholders as they continue making disproportionate prof­ its even in the most difficult of economic times. The longer this injustice continues the


more damage is done as money is diverted from its rightful owners to enable them to repay ever-accumulating debts. British milk is produced to high stand­


ards that does not come cheaply. Farmers are efficient in managing business costs, but they are in the unfortunate position of having no'control over the selling price of theirproduct.


: ,, While costs have risen steeply for all ba­


sic items essential to dairy farming - fuel, feed, fertiliser, veterinary supplies, elec­


■ tainable level.. Keeping your head above water while


tricity and water- the farm gate milk price' has decreased in real terms to an unsus- -


working at a loss, motivated by a constant promise of good times ahead, can onlv last so long and is leading one by one to dairy farmers gradually sinking out of ex-


. istence through lackof income available to replace worn out equipment, meet ani­ mal welfare needs and expansion to meet


: the scale of economy needed to satisfy in- - creased demands to produce cheap milk based on prices set by retailers. British milk production ensures our - country has more control over supply and


. price and I clearly recall that during the big freeze last Christmas a major concern of consumers was supplies of fresh milk and bread. "


Why must milk be continually used asa '


loss leader to fuel retail price wars at the expense of others lower down the chain? All we ask is for a fair balance of power in the supply chain and that the missing


: money is passed on, without delay and with arrears, othenvise this latest abuse of power will be another slap in the face for British dairy farmers.
