The Fonterra a2 raw milk supply is pretty bloody important to ATM's future

Incorrect, A2 raw milk supply is important, but it doesn't have to come from Fonterra.

Fonterra has issues due to the law in NZ requiring Fonterra to collect milk from ALL dairy farms that want it collected, irrespective of where they are, (and pay the farmer for it), i.e. they are the collector of last resort.

With the growth of dairy outside of the traditional dairy areas, i.e. deep south island, Fonterra costs of collection have risen at the same time that the price of commodity Milk products have dropped. Also farmers in high density areas have switched to other suppliers so the easy collection costs are not offsetting the hard ones as much.

They will sort it out in due course as long as the cows keep producing milk.

Remember A2 cash in bank is almost the same as Fonterra's massive loss amount......Hmmmm....I wonder.......
