This is my argument, if a farmer gambles correctly on his feed buying then he should profit, it’s not for the processor to help themselves to. If the farmer guesses wrong he doesn’t get an extra payment to cover his loss.Exactly, broilers need plenty of heat energy and electricity too,. 25% price increase isnt enough yet.
The price is slow at going up as buyers say many growers have preexisting feed contracts running.
Many growers will have some feed contracts cheaper than spot,. But what has that to do with liveweight price, its the farmers gamble and his are the rewards/losses
