"Fonterra has agreed to sell major brands like Mainland and Anchor for $3.845 billion."

I strongly believe trademark law needs reform, so trademarks can't be sold as tradeable assets. The whole point of a trademark is to allow customers to buy from a consistent source. If they can be transferred from one operator to another, who can slap it on whatever garbage they like, it defeats the whole purpose.

Good point. What is the point.
I will be surprised if this gets a majority vote from shareholders. Farmers aren't broke( ATM) aren't thick( some are ignorant) and aren't all needing to pay off large bank loans( why would they at current interest rates)
