Beef Plan Movement ‘will not endorse outcome of talks’

 

The Beef Plan Movement has rejected the deal hammered out between farmers and industry representatives.
It says it doesn’t go far enough to deal with real pricing control measures that factories and retailers put on farmers.
The agreement reached last week had dealt with some key issues, however farmers had expressed their disappointment that pricing wasn’t addressed.
Protests are set to take place today at some meat plants in relation to the issue, however the Beef Plan Movement is not endorsing those demonstrations.
