The guys who had a bad do in covid and sharpened the pencils won’t know what to do with it all because they had to get the shop in shape to carry the business in those times
we are about to see a period of milk prices like never before and when the price drops there is going to be some serious casualties and the average cop is going to be inflated for a lot of businesses which will add more pressure
all IMO

guarantee price will go down, quicker than it is going up.
we should use the extra money, from this period wisely, rather than spend it on necessary want to haves.
If we are really lucky, it will keep in the late 30p rate for a long time.
Also farmers must realise why its rising, shortage, if we negate that into a surplus, price will drop like a stone.
Wonder how many farmers, reading this, are/have planning to increase production, and realise that is the way forward, to achieve a lower price.

Reading this thread on going fills you with hope tho that the appetite with everything that’s happened to bang on a few more cows isn’t there. As said the price will keep going up to a point where they’ve beaten us farmers and the urge is too strong to flood the market. Not there yet.

So you’re saying multiple Fendts would be a foolish move?

Well I dried 10% of the herd off today.
Few culls going next week.
Then drying 30% off before we celebrate Her Majesty.
So I'm doing my bit

It is true an increase in supply or a drop in demand worldwide would cause prices to fall. But are there any obvious drivers of either.
I'm not sure there is.

I would be 99% confident if you actually did a 12 month budget with your june milk price and today's inputs your milk price increase has exceeded your costs increase.
I know in my case on two million litres the improvement is 6 figures

Arla. But their lead has only been by a month for the last couple but their june price may prove challenging for others in July.

Bit of a pointless exercise unless you’ve fixed inputs for the next 12 months. Chuck todays machinery prices into it & any building materials if you’d planned to do anything & it doesn’t look quite so great.

Do you have a budget factoring in the prices you mention to back up your gut feeling.
Since Christmas you been 2 to 3p better off over 5 months that's a lot money out of the bank that you can't get back. Your right June price will make a difference at that but won't see that in the bank intil July.
To off set that there been times in years gone by when it's been the other way around.

If potter has his dates right it looks as if Arla moved their balancing price for the direct organics surplus milk above their waitrose core price 2 days before waitrose moved the core price.
Its not looking good as an aligned Tesco or Sainsbury direct either in the low 40's for July.
