Farmer misinterpretation?
PA Wellington “Federated Farmers is concerned about the apparent misinterpretation by many dairy farmers of thei supplementary minimum price scheme announced by the Government in the 1978 Budget,” said Mr G. Gibson, i chairman of the federation’s! Dominion dairy section i yesterday. i
i “Farmers should be aware sthat they will not receive an ■ end-of-season payment this 'year similar to that of recent years,” he said. It must i be emphasised that the supr plementary minimum price J of 180 c a kilogram of butter,fat is based on a national .average price and the endi of-season payment will vary up or down depending on
each individual dairy company’s product mix, "product grades, and manufacturing' costs.
“It is imperative that dairy farmers do not become confused by comparing the present supplementary mins imum price with past end-of-season payments,” Mr Gibson said.
