GB & UK Daily Milk Deliveries
Published 17 February 17
GB milk deliveries have decreased for the week ending 11 February 2017, with a week-on-week fall of 0.8%. Deliveries are now running 4.4% below the same week last year, equivalent to 1.5m litres per day.

* denotes leap year

Source: UK Dairies, RPA, Defra, DAERA

Notes:

Figures are collated by AHDB Dairy from many of the larger UK dairy companies and are then scaled to reflect 100% of deliveries using the latest Defra UK production figures. Figures are collected on a weekly basis from dairies and may include some estimates which are subject to retrospective changes

The UK figures were last scaled on 3 February 2017, using Defra production for December 2016. Scaling occurs approximately one month in arrears due to the timing of when Defra numbers are available.

Week-on-week changes are adjusted to negate the impact of every other day collection, which can lead to day-to-day swings in the volume of milk collected.

Finally stole a night away from the kids and milking since October. Anyway in Arran for the the first time and it's beautiful. Think there's only a couple of dairy farms left and saw the tanker running this morn and then parked up. Looked into the arran cheese shop and was lovely and cheeses will be purchased on way home tomorrow. However! in a wee bar/bistro where on the side at the coffee machine they have GRAHAMS?? Bonkers

Only dairy on Arran rumoured to be quiting .. they sold 26 in Carlisle on Wednesday ... Will those that own the franchise for ARRAN cheese blush if no one produces milk on Arran. I doubt it. Where is the morality in that .. Getting 14 pence in may last year on Arran while other first milk cheese producers were getting far more in other parts of the mainland must have sickened him ...so much for coop principals .. jtt.

Regardless of any single other thing within a coop the same price paid to every member is the main priority. Bought some and they are a real credit to him. Think there's crossbreds in the pipeline and the sale was to purely raise cash, really sad.

when i went to arran about ten years ago , there were 3 dairy farms , one chap milking 40-50 , one milking 140 odd ,who just put in a new outdoor tank , had a parlour held together with string and delapidated sheds , the other who i didnt visit was milking over 300 and had a new parlour recently
got talking to a straw lorry driver on boat home , he said the extra cost of bringing stuff in was crippling , and a tanker was sent over to take excess milk when they didnt need it

Theres a new cheese factory coming to north wales, cant say who but a big landowner with a milk platform of 12 milion litres all spring calving wanted us spring calvers to join as hes fed up of seasonality around here that they are taking the pee out of us! One meeting been and he want at least 30 million ltrs and more with a good contract! That will shake a few creamary around here

Great cheese factory news !! The UK CHEESES consumption figures will soon be over. £ 3billion pounds per annum. I would love to know how much of this is UK mainland sourced and how much is from Eire and EU and rest of world. Hope your new factory owner makes a good cheese then a fortune off the back of it. jtt

Can't be that many landowners with 12 million litres of spring milk in the UK let alone wales?

Could be!

Theres plenty of investors willing to put money in for it apparently

Presumably he will be mothballing the plant for 3 months of the year, running at half cock for 6 and flat out for 3.

He might even introduce an incentive after a while, for those producers with level production in order to have some production and be able to pay his staff

Yet those pesky kiwis seem to manage alright on that system.

To the year ending June 17 Fonterra are forcasting a $6.50 payout. This is equivalent to 38ppl on my 10% solids jersey litres. For the year ending March 17, so not quite the same, i will average 26/27ppl as an ARLA member. The exchange rate is helping them a bit but that's a fair difference when they basically produce commodities and mothball most plants over winter.

Lets hope he can do it then, after all everything Kiwi is better than we have here
