Its easy for me to say in the soft south on the best contract I could possibly have for my system. But I really don't mind as I have a system that appears to cope well with both scenarios but if I had to choose I would go for highs and lows as it creates innovation and opportunity and is far more interesting!Maybe i shouldto build a stronger market for organic milk. Wouldn't be the first time. Shame other don't as well.
No I'm saying boom and bust does no one any favours. Level price at a sustainable level is better all round. Or do you prefer highs and lows?
If thats what the market says then yes.What, you would rather we were always 3 or 4 ppl below Europe?

@lazy farmer agree 100% there's opportunity with massive swings. That said, I spect hen I'm 20 years older, I shall want an easy life, not massive swings.
That's for sure. But you don't need to gamble if you don't want to, and only ever gamble what your willing to loose.Big risks too, bad timing could put good operators out.
There isn't much difference in the long run. I look at average profitability through a minimum five year lens. In reality the horizon is much longer. Yes, it's more painful at times, but with the benefit of forcing the tools to be sharpened a little now and again. It's the natural way of things.
No there isn't. But if it takes a lower milk price for someone to sharpen up then more fool them!

I didn't say you were a fool. Tweaking is differnet from what some have been doing sat back happy on 35p making a small margin.Oh right. So I'm the only one who took the opportunity to reassess what my farm is about as we entered this downturn? More fool me!
Turns out I didn't change a great deal. Few tweaks here and there, and I'll be re-tweaking as we leave the downturn.
Most people supplying a cheese maker would have good protein, where would 3.5% protein put it ?Belton Cheese up a penny to 21p for Oct
HHmm, well a published manufacturing price of 21.75p ,4.2 fat and 3 .4 protein , so a bit higherMost people supplying a cheese maker would have good protein, where would 3.5% protein put it ?
High proteins dont just drop out of the sky ,though.High protein bulls will have lower milk generally, and their is a feed cost too.It isnt a free bonus therefore.Most people supplying a cheese maker would have good protein, where would 3.5% protein put it ?
Last month was one of the worst months for protein in a long time 3.38%,hopefully will bank 14.77ppl. Belton cheese is out of the area but it's interesting to hear what's out there. We keep getting told about basket's for pricing.High proteins dont just drop out of the sky ,though.High protein bulls will have lower milk generally, and their is a feed cost too.It isnt a free bonus therefore.
