I wonder what feed costs Tesco/Promar are claiming to have reduced. My Summer cake contract is still £100/ton up on last Winter’s despite a planned ten quid reduction for August and September only

I’d want to see a lot more detail from Promar on how they think costs have reduced. Kite on the other hand have been banging on all summer about how the COP has been getting towards 50p. One of the companies is wrong!!!
Dont forget Promar are being paid by Tesco to do the work, they‘re not going to bite the hand that feeds them
Tesco hold the keys I wouldn’t be getting off track concerned with Promar

there is a saying, 'the customer, is always right', might not be completely true, but for promar, their customer is tesco, and one would imagine its a contract they really wouldn't like to lose, are they influenced by their customer ?
you can adapt any set of figures you want, to come up with the answer you want, without 'bending' the truth, by much.
Virtually everybody outside of farming, desperately want's food cost to reduce, for very obvious reasons. What they fail to realise, is the cost of producing it, is rising faster than food cost.
Very certain, a huge % of people, really don't connect food production, with UK ag, also pretty sure you could include a majority of politicians in that, as well.
I find it amusing to watch MP's worm/shout/lie/fight, to become the next tory leader, any sane person, would run away from that. The most almighty shite bag, is going to explode fairly soon, with energy and food rampant inflation, there is one massive muddle, on the cards, and not sure there is a way, to extract our country from it, without inflicting severe pain, to consumers.

That makes no sense, it says they are reducing the Tesco price to 42.59ppl, but then goes on to say the Tesco price will continue to track the Muller Direct price (which is currently 47ppl for August 1st).

I suppose it can track the price, just be 5p or whatever behind it.
From the way I read it it just says the COP has gone down, not that they’re reducing the price paid.

They should be grateful that Tesco have changed the rules to suit them then, rather than throwing their toys out the pram

Get used to it. All our prices will be dropping soon. Regardless of supply.

Just realistic.
The continual view on here that milk prices need to keep heading in one direction and it's still not enough is seriously removed from likely reality.

Are we allowed to be worried yet then?
Going down east devon for a wedding tomorrow, interesting to see how much dryer you guy have it ,most stuff is fair brown unless you have a rushy farm.Well my supply is with this drought !Grass is nearly all gone !
Speaking to a mate on cop contract who has dropped from 550 cow to 390 and is likely to drop more, as cow prices to high and he can't get good labour, has Eastern Europe staff at the moment but need to be supervised all the time, as they don't understand cows at all, just here for the money.
It's not just price related any more
