Spring flush must be kicking in, tankers running about in all directions, picking up little bits of milk left because the 1st tanker was full, neighbour had 4 tankers up his lane before he got tank emptied the other day, (not massive farm either 150-200 grazing cows). Route planners solution today, sent him to the neighbours before he picked us up today, so neighbour got tank emptied but turned up here with only space for 500ltrs in tanker🤷‍♂️🤯

And yet no sign of a price drop or people being told to dump milk because we are too busy to collect 👍

Happens every year here , changed route just as we started calving, lorry was over loaded 4 days ago here with 2 farms to pick up🙈, not really a flush just 💩planning ( we've calved in the same date for 22 years now)

Aye maybe so, but I can't see national milk production expanding much at that price, more needed me thinks if they want more milk...

I don’t really understand why they have put the milk price up so much so quickly. They’ve never been overly bothered before. They must be absolutely terrified that production will fall off a cliff.

I wouldn’t bank on people not expanding. The price of stock is going up and up so there’s is a growing demand and the price being offered for maize is unreal.

What sort of money is maize making per acre this year?

stock is up because culls are flying. People are cutting out the bottom 20% and replacing with a better performing 10%.

every mand their dog is drilling maize here this year in order to try and buffer increased feed costs.

little to no appetite locally to expand due to looming nvz and would suggest that’s the same for all of Wales.

milk buyers have ridden the wave of growth post quota removals. Nvz’s is that new quota
