Against the backdrop of the Semex 2020 dairy conference in Glasgow this week, NFU Scotland president Andrew McCornick (right) and milk policy manager Stuart Martin (left) met with Dr Patrick Muller, the chief executive of major milk buyer, Muller Milk Ingredients. The union representatives stressed the importance of stability for Scottish dairy farmers and Scottish milk fields and underlined their disappointment with regard to Muller’s decision in October 2019 to serve notice on 14 dairy farmers in Aberdeenshire, and the scale of new haulage charges to be imposed on many dairy farmers supplying the company next month.
