Accounting Dissertation: The Use and Adoption of Forward Contracts within the United Kingdom in order to decrease Volatile Milk Prices

[Erin McIlwraith]

I am currently in my Fourth Year of study at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh studying Accounting and Finance. I am also originally from a Dairy Farm in South West Scotland. For my dissertation, I have chosen the topic of applying Forward Contracts within the Dairy Industry in order to try and decrease the ever-increasing volatile milk prices. I am currently undertaking my data collection through an online survey which I am keen to spread as far as possible to dairy farmers as well as anyone within the dairy profession.

The survey can be found here: https://hwsml.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/..._e_w6PcFv12emgpGrvgVeaD7aBw6-sIwxyEtLxvfC5weY

It contains 15 questions and shouldn't take longer than 5 minutes. I would be extremely appreciative if it could be completed & any comments or opinions are openly welcome.

Thanks,
Erin

Done and quick!. Need to point out I’d happily contract sell 100% of milk at £1/litre for 5 years. 0% at 25ppl. Let me know if you know of anyone offering the former!
