Do you think that the processors will show us the same consideration the next time the price crashes ?
I think not. They were still making good profits when our milk was down to 20p. How many farmers were showing good margins then ?

But still we, farmers collectively, kept sending them plenty of milk.

Reason given for the smaller organic rise?

My local shop told me that people aren’t buying so much milk now as it’s cheaper in supermarkets or they are decreasing consumption in favour of booze
No accounting for stupid.
I’m not sure others will follow Arla up as they (Arla) will export if they meet a British brick wall. Think we are pretty much at peak price for now

They can’t put wine in there tea or cereals can they.

Is that why organic vegetable demand is back 10% and conventional is back 15%?
Lower demand for vending machine milk to the extent some producers are questioning their continuation.

It's will be different for every processor, business model. I'm sure a lack of milk is worse than paying slightly too much.

Interesting point that, the talk of export but not heard anything more.
I know of fresh produce that has been turned away even though previous loads have gone through no problem.
TBF, I was shocked when the shopkeeper told me how much booze he shifts in a week …. and how many alcoholics the village has.

Whiskey in coffee...
Lack of milk is key.
Our forage stocks are going to be tight as can’t get fert so growing 3rd, 4th and potentially 5th cut on slurry only .. but that can only go so far

I think that's very common,milks 3.5% down now that could easily be 10% by Christmas
The only slurry left here are the sand dredgings, enough for 1 cut. Had poultry manure delivered for 3rd cut, that won’t happen next year with old Drakey’s NVZ/ anti pollution regs.

Everyone de stock by 10%, 80p by Christmas and for the first year ever we could all take the day off because we could afford to pay a fortune for someone else to do it, ohh and we’d have enough forage stocks to see us through winter. Now wouldn’t that be dreamy
