How react German farmers on low milk price?
 First produce more milk to have the same sales
 Reduce cash costs
 Talk to the bank spend no money for
repayment
 A lot off farmers had to take credit for the cash
costs
 Some farmers stop milk production (all kinds
off herd size)
problem: nobody will buy the cows and it
is forbidden to slaughter pragnant cows
