At the moment there are choices.

with the cost of living crisis, how well will the organic customer base,, cope with the higher price, for many current organic buyers, its a 'fad' thing. Am l right in saying, omsco, only pay organic price, on a proportion of your production, quite happy to be proved wrong.

Careful. Would prefer the use of the term “current reality”
“New reality” suggests something that will go on and on.

What makes it worse is my milk is lifted by an Arla tanker. I’m just basic RT assurance no extras and I doubt very much that milk will be separated from the Arla high fliers in terms of farm assurance. Makes a bit of a mockery of it all!Johnes monitoring, quarterly BCS/cleanliness/mobility scoring and filling out an annual climate check survey aren’t exactly massive hurdles are they???
I’m quite happy doing all of the above for an extra 7.5ppl

Always good to be specific, vast difference even within sectors
Do Arla pay the top price on the continent as well?
Oh I agree, can tell alot when you enquire
Incorrect.
Organic veg has seen less of a dip in sales than conventional.
Milk sales are staying firm
GDT cheese has been on a downward trajectory for a while.
Spot is a small small volume and varies week to week. What was spot when Arla were dumping milk last week on farm?
The supermarkets have definitely got their heads buried somewhere , just look at Heinz.
Have any processor's done this?
Can only do it with brands, perhaps Arla should continue to "lead"?

which you cannot now buy, in Tescoe's. Nice to see one big company, say no, to another big company.

Don't have to be big, OMSCo did it to Tescos years ago with organic milk.

In general, yes currently Arla are ahead with the exception of the extreme commodity producers which shows where the markets are currently. In relation to the comment about "perhaps Arla should continue to lead"- what do you think Arla is trying to do, social media is full of complaints about Lurpak pricing and Cravendale price has also significantly increased along with our other brands.
In relation to milk dumping, if the biggest UK dairy goes down even for part of a day trying to shift milk around the country is difficult. Given only a small number of farms ended up being asked to dump milk rather shows how strong demand currently is.
Given you are obviously well informed, I really cannot see why you seem to think Arla is so useless and incompetent. I know Arla is not perfect but the employees do a tremendous job for the farmers who own it and along with the farmer directors try to follow the mission statement. "Our mission is to secure the highest value for our farmers' milk while creating opportunities for their growth"

Heinz won’t be supplying Tesco with ketchup, baked beans or tomato soup unless Tesco agree to pay more. I’d say this is just the start of things to come. Long may it continue

And despite these apparently fantastic prices...
