I had a meeting recently with Concept Dairy. It has a particular focus on technology and information sharing to ensure that farmers can benefit from transparency when deciding on whether to enter contracts. Is the information that is available to farmers who are deciding whether to enter into the contracts significant? Are the hedging and de-risking tools that were mentioned used when discussing these contracts with the farmers?
