Exception may be given by DFMC to members on a truly seasonal supply pattern either at the start or end of their seasonal calving period. Other collection requirements include:  Collection on a daily or skip-a-day basis except in emergencies;  The tanker must empty the vat;  No segregation of the milk is allowed on the basis on any compositional or quality parameter. DFMC/LDD have no obligation to collect milk more frequently than once per day. In order to guarantee the safety of members, drivers, animals and property and to facilitate the efficient collection of milk, DFMC requires all farms to have acceptable dairy access. The minimum suitable standard includes: An all-weather access road to provide safe access for the milk tanker. Truck access gates to and within the property must remain open at all times. Towing of trucks will not be permitted under any circumstance. No reversing of tankers into a farm from a public road. Clear visibility at the entrance to the farm that is free from trees or other obstructions. No cows are permitted to walk on tanker access tracks. This is essential for OH&S reasons but also for Biosecurity on farm. Drivers must be given safe, clear and well-lit access to the vat room and vats at all times. There are times of the year when milk production may exceed the member’s storage capacity, even on daily collection. Members may also be unfortunate enough to have a refrigeration failure that is not immediately repairable. In these types of situations, the member may request additional pickups each day. At its absolute discretion, DFMC will attempt to assist the member by providing an additional daily collection. Any additional collections may incur an additional fee of $50. In any event, milk must meet temperature provisions as the additional collection is at the election of the Member and not DFMC, unless DFMC has agreed to assist a member with a refrigeration problem. Where the member’s volume of milk exceeds the capacity and ability of DFMC milk collection arrangements, additional fees and Gate Charges will not be charged or will be reimbursed if charged incorrectly. Also, where milk is collected more frequently than required by the member for the cartage contractor’s or DFMC’s convenience, no Gate Charges or additional charges will apply for the additional collections.
