I don't think @dinderleat can have seen any news about dover in the last 10 days.

However there are other ferries and other routes to powder towers I would trust Arla to have a plan b and c and d to avoid lost milk.
Interesting message I've just had on exporting experience
"Last week I had 4 trucks of "product" en route to Germany held up by French customs in Calais.

Some minor error on the paperwork, which we still don’t understand, as we have exported several 1000 tonne this year & this was done with exactly the same procedure.

We had virtually zero assistance from Defra & the net result was that over 100 tonnes of "produce" with a cost of £70,000 were dumped as they were out of date.

Meanwhile the imports sail into the UK without a blink of the eye"

So even doing the paperwork the same way every time doesn't mean plain sailing!

Exporting milk will never work because some company has lost <5% of their 'product' (which might not be any form of dairy produce) for an unexplained reason is not the take home message I'm getting.

Didn't say it won't work.

But the government/defra aren't on our side to help!!

It's frustrating!

Milkprices.com - spot milk 35-42ppl and some buyers report supplies tightening again, spring flush over hopefully
spot dropped, wasn't there a factory problem somewhere, that caused that fall ?
if spring peak is over, that is good news, stuffed 2 fingers at those retailers, that thought they could drop the price, for the flush, that wasn't.
