Consumer backlash against 'super dairies' could create new label for 'free range milk' http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1285599895
But he warned of a "consumer backlash" that could lead to a demand for "free range milk".
"They [super dairies] will fill a market for milk that is produced in vast quantities and is cheap to collect but there will be a backlash from consumers so maybe they will be best selling their milk into processing rather than into liquid markets," he told the Farmers Guardian.
"It is probably good news for organic farmers because one of the organic standards is that cattle have to graze. Anything that raises consumer awareness of organic farming is good.
"I think it could also open the door to a free range milk brand as well, something which is probably long overdue."... But it is common to keep thousands of animals indoors in the US and the Continent where robots milk the cows and the animals only have limited time outside.... She said even the limited time outside is unlikely to be 'green pasture' because the animals are bred to need constant feeding and milking.
