Fonterra's farmer shareholders should get a decent payout from the sale of consumer brands like Anchor and Mainland.
They've overwhelmingly voted for a $4.2 billion dollar sale to French company, Lactalis.
ASB economists predict the sale will deliver a tax-free capital return of $3.2 billion - or $400,000 per farmer.
