“Any quota-restructuring scheme should be geared towards ensuring the most efficient and progressive dairy farmers have greatest access to quota, as it becomes available. We must work together, the industry, the farming organisations, and the Government, to ensure that each dairy farmer gets the best possible advice on their options before making any decisions.”
