Shareholders voted to sell the co-op to Chinese dairy giant Yili yesterday, for 588-million-dollars.
But former suppliers say they're owed 11 million dollars from shares not yet paid out.
The group's spokesman, Pete Williams, says farmers need the money back.
He says traditionally the co-op paid the money back straight away... but are likely using it to juice-up the deal for the new buyer.
