Some interest on the milk price tracker thread. Maybe we ought to have a B litre tracker as well??

July/August/Sept are with the farm secretary at the moment, but from memory the B price in July was just slightly lower than the standard price. August/Sept we didn’t have any B litres so don’t know the price. Will be back into B litres in Oct

Care to share the figures?

Our B litres price doesn’t seem to ever exceed our standard price

Then your milk buyer is making plenty of money out of you

 

[pappuller]

Meadow foods b price is always 3-4ppl behind mine according to a family member

 

[pappuller]

Also depends what your milk buyers definition of a b price is ?

Quite possibly, but when questioned on it all we get told is ‘that is what the market is returning at the moment’. Unless we share information then how are they supposed to be challenged on their poor prices. Spot price info available from milkprices.com but then we get told those aren’t always relevant, or you have deduct 2-3 ppl for transport.

With B litres the processor doesn’t care what price they achieve for that milk, the price goes straight back to the farmer. Then don’t need to worry about planning, forward contracts, etc etc

excess milk over profile, is paid at ampe minus 2p, that's barbers, fairest way I've seen, on occaision been more than 'a' price.

3rd column (grey) =A litres (Blue )=B litres 2nd column is just a load of made up shite that makes you think we’re going to be on 40p next year.?

 

[Bramble]

30ppl on the B litres for October, shame it was only 3% of production

 

[pappuller]

30ppl on the B litres for October, shame it was only 3% of production

any indication for November ? our buyer is buying in milk circa 31ppl at the moment so hoping to see that price for novs b litres if not a little more. we will be on circa 20% b litres for a few months now.

 

[Bramble]

Unfortunately no idea for November, don’t find out until we get the milk statement. Will be 30-50% of production for Nov/Dec

 

[Princess Pooper]

30.88 B litre price for October, just a pity we didn't have any! 28.94 for Sept milk, when we did. We get seasonality and various other tweaks to our A litre price but the only thing that comes off B litres would be SCC or bacto penalties and the levy.

My B price was 2p more than A,A was a crap 25.38p

 

[Bramble]

A price base was 24.4p +0.3 volume
