Cake Price Tracker

Whats the collective thinking?

Few options for this winter, none of them very exciting! Buy your cake wrong and milk price slip 4p and it wouldn't be that great!

Stick or twist, who knows where the price is heading.
People saying a bit of rain and the price of raw materials will fall,
In a world market a bit of rain in sunny England won't make jack as far as I can see.
If we could foward sell milk for the winter 21/22 then I would be a lot more comfortable with expensive cake!
 
I agree with you @Beef farmer any difference a bit of rain makes here is going to be negligible in the bigger picture, can't see milk price dropping either but the way inputs are going even if the price stands still it's as good as a drop anyway

Think we are being told our blend is running about £20pt more expensive than last year for winter atm. Have nothing contracted yet but watching daily. I think they’re having drought issues in South America currently? Which is pushing prices.

So what did you do, I didn’t book anything and wish I’d bought some protein. Now trying to decided if I should buy a load of urea as silage quality is rubbish, or just buy as needed off local mill (4 mile away). No waste, always fresh etc. And much easier on the cash flow.
