Everyone is tight lipped about it, but I was told by an old sage that we will loose a lot in next 6 months and will be buying it back form Yew Tree with FM tankers in some cases still picking it up off farms !!

Not good news with the spot potentially rocketing, I don't know why anyone would go through the last 3 years with first milk and leave when they've sorted their arses from Thier elbows out

might have to phone our local rep to see if this is true!!
Good luck he reads this and you will get told very little about how many will leave, not like the old ARs the word filtered down to members, the new council tell us very little !!

Three years ago we thought they were sorted out, look what happened.
That is why the Board is now controlled by comercial businessmen and not farmers, the farmers on the Board and chairman did not want to be first to cut the price or members would have resigned in there droves !! To late for many I know.

Well that's Arla getting a price increase decrease or whatever I haven't got a clue judging by what's on the milk price tracker, what do you think we will get July?

Arla has increased by 1.44ppl from 1st July, B litres go from 70% to 105% it really is that simple.

Have you only increased 1.44? Thought you would have got a bit more than that. Sorry @Fergieman not as clever as you boys

Unfortunately critical mass will take first milk down the same with DFOB. Any other milk buyer would be preferable than being the last man standing.

Interestingly, just the other day I had someone ring me up to try and persuade me to rescind our notice. I politely declined.
To be fair, we've been around the 27ppl mark for a few months, and I'm not sure what we'd get with arla atm, but it would be similar I think. The big difference is that arla are unlikely to go bust, so apart from general milk market worries, I can sleep at night.

August will be the last month of any "B" pricing. So they've kept it the same at 25p.

This seems nuts I thought they are short of milk so paying a production bonus but will pay less for those litres produced over your a volume
It is nuts should be 35p but they are skint

They must be tied into bad contracts, surely they new they were losing the milk and should just concentrate on getting the best price for their members milk rather than chasing all this extra milk they haven't got.
