Lycross Farm in Somerset.
They produce 25 tons of Cheddar here every single week, and when it's ready, the cheese is offered to the supermarkets.
But farmers say the big retailers already have too much power,
and the takeover of Safeways could make them even stronger.
So, Nick, you're the farmer here.
If Safeways are taken over by say Asda Wal-Mart, huge company,
what's that gonna mean for you?
It'll probably mean we're offered lower prices for our products.
Why?
They're global purchasers,
I think they'll just have a, a bigger pression on what we're actually selling.
Now, if Morrisons on the other hand, they're much smaller than Asda Wal-Mart,
if Morrisons get Safeways,
is that kind of better news for you?
Yes, it is to an, to an extent,
but it means there'd be four major players in the market rather than just a consolidation of the ones that we've got at the moment.
So that gives you more power.
Absolutely.
In the shop next door,
the farmer sells direct to the customer, and can set his own prices.
But outside,
it's the supermarkets that call the shots.
Producers say the sale of Safeways may force farmers together.
The buyers are getting together and getting bigger
and the farmers are staying separate and accepting the price they're given, so it's a bit of a downward slide.
So what's the answer for farmers then?
Get together.
Farmers know there's no much they can do about the sale of Safeways,
apart from making it clear that shareholders and supermarket customers aren't the only ones who'll be affected.
