Milk Price Tracker

Scholsey · Feb 21, 2017

What are peoples long time predictions with the UK milk market? is this volatility going to become normal? I know milk price used to have peaks and troughs but it seems to be heading towards Everests and Mariana Trenches!

And also a lot of farmers will b forced to sell up by the banks this time.also feed company's are really trying to put pressure on people to catch up on payments

He's the only one who said Milk spot price would be flying by October just gone

Yes he is top bloke but his current prediction is clearly not very inspiring

Beef farmer · Feb 21, 2017

If people can go from 0 cows to 1300 cows in 6 months, then the swings are here to stay. It will give opertunity in both directions.

Yep! The thing they were on about lastnite about the banks etc,something to do with last year the difference between cow price/barren was worth the chance (£150s average) this time they reckon (£350s average) and the banks arnt happy with the difference this time .

Will lactillis be able to hold at 27.5p till Dec ?

lazy farmer · Feb 21, 2017

obviously I know less than nothing as I have proved on here many times but the dynamics this year are very different to last yr.

endeavour · Feb 21, 2017

How do you consider it will affect price if market remains oversupplied everything remains open to happen ?

From this low base of knowledge could you expand on you thinking

lazy farmer · Feb 21, 2017

sorry endeavour not sure who the question was aimed at but currently the market is not over supplied it is in balance. futures are up in feb. European production is not charging ahead like last yr for example France, Europes second largest producer is 4% down.

RobFZS · Feb 21, 2017

You could say the market has found it's level after the Russian embargo and the end of quota's, but only time will tell

Still got intervention to clear out

stablegirl · Feb 21, 2017

We are still well under the 3 year average production, we are not currently over supplied.

Lets see what happens over through the spring flush.

kp_n_plghng · Feb 21, 2017

@lazyfarmer can you post a link to the futures if you have one, as i agree they are as good as anything for predicting.

endeavour · Feb 21, 2017

LF We have not cleared intervention and have yet to see the effects of expansionists in Ireland and uk remember IRISH MILK is only 5-6hours away from most uk processing.

jimmer · Feb 21, 2017

if there is going to be a shortage from sept-feb , why not put 1000 cows on for the winter
tell mr woodcock he can have 30,000l a day for six months when he needs it for 30ppl flat rate , then sell them
he can then buy his cheap milk through the spring and the cycle goes on

5ppl profit ?
250k profit , not bad for 6 months work
