good prices , but we as an industry are easily pleased , just shows if processors had just increased normal prices just a few% over the years , they could guarantee a good supply year round . All this holding prices back to 80s levels is no good for anyone.
Was interesting watching tv this morning and the age old cost of a pint of milk came up , public dont really know (or care) if its 50p or £2 they will still buy it .

And if it’s 50p or £2 the farmer will still only get 24p or what ever it’s at atm
