LTO Dairy Farming was very surprised about AgriNL's plans last week. The department is 'not even remotely supportive, but is prepared to consult with the government on the basis of its own LTO plans.
This is what chairman Wil Meulenbroeks of the LTO Dairy Farming group says. The plans that LTO continues to support are set out in the proposal Coalition for Future-oriented Dairy Farming and the Sustainable Balance Plan (DE). However, AgriNL's proposals were a huge surprise, he says. "AgriNL operated under the radar for 6 or 7 years and was known to few people, and then they come out in such a way."
