Dairy farmers consider protest over milk prices part of business

(Amber Ferguson/CBC)

"I really think he knows he needs to go get a job and try to keep a roof over his head," said Bill Sousa, who's owned Dabies Dairy for 21 years, since opening his first dairy in 1989.

With the Canadian dairy industry in recovery from recent severe price spikes, dairy farmers aren't exactly happy with the price drop for milk.

Farmers in Canada were hoping for another 10-15 per cent drop today but ended up with 4 per cent or less.

Sousa thinks the reason the price drop is happening isn't about dairy or milk.

"This is really more about politics. There are so many people that are concerned about this and they have to put their weight on it and say, 'We are paying people what they pay today, but our dairy farmers need to do the same.'"

Farmers said they are paying a much higher price now than they did 30 years ago, but are happy with the price drop.

"My job is to keep my family going to school, my husband and I really do make a huge sacrifice for the kids, not for the dairy farmers but for my family."

The dairy farmer and his family have been living in an industrial zone about 70 kilometres west of Fredericton, New Brunswick.

Karin Sneddon, from a small dairy farm located about 30 kilometres northeast of Fredericton, says the price drop has a lot to do with the fact that farmers are having to raise their prices.

"For us, it's almost a situation where we are taking care of our clients and making sure we don't lose our clients, which I guess it is in most states when you are trying to raise your prices," she said.

Sneddon doesn't have much patience for the argument that prices should stay low, when the government has clearly laid out guidelines to ensure farmers can sell milk at full cost or at the minimum necessary price of about $9.70 a gallon.

"At what point do we demand more or less? So, obviously, the cost for this business is up вЂ” but what can we get out of paying the cost? We have to work hard and be more careful about our prices," she said.

Bill Sousa agrees that farmers need to do some price cutting, but he thinks it won't be the only option.

Premier warned over commissioner comment on football

Premier Daniel Andrews told the NRL that comments by former Australian football boss Mark Richardson could cause him to change his view about referees.

Speaking on Triple M on Tuesday, Andrews said that his comments would be reviewed in full by Australian Rugby Union boss Andrew McFadden.

"I've made it clear to the RLU in the most recent meetings that I'm very, very disturbed by the comments made by Mark Richardson at a forum in the UK," Andrews said.

"His comments were disturbing in their tone and tone is something that I can only imagine could be damaging to me.

"I think the league has to review all of this and the players are aware of the comments that Mark Richardson made to the media. I don't think that the league needs to go through this in full with every single comment coming from the NRL.

"There are times where people comment on things that are good for the sport but there's always a time when they get a bit too caught up in what is good for their own ego at the moment.

"There will be reviews conducted with the highest degree of scrutiny in regard to this particular incident."

Richardson, who coached the NSW Blues and Newcastle Knights, made those comments while speaking to a French TV channel during a campaign for the World Cup.

"I've seen players come up in international team rooms because of their ability and I've seen them go out and win it," Richardson told La Provence last month.

He then added, "the ability to influence players at the highest level is one that is not lost on me, it's part of my legacy."

Richardson previously revealed his thoughts on referees in an interview on the Daily Telegraph.

"I'm sorry it's come to this but the reason for all this is that referees don't like the way these guys look, that they don't want them in there anymore.

"To put a professional in their places, because they're playing so hard and maybe they haven't got it, that's just nonsense.

"It isn't only the refs. The referees have got it all wrong, referees have got it wrong in all sports in the Premier League.

"You have a football referee, we have a referee who is at the end of a two-year contract who won the game, the other guy won the game with the foot.

"The man who won with the foot was a professional referee, he could have been a world-class referee. I don't think that's the way referees have evolved or the way they are on the field these days, it's all too much about them."
