Milk Price Tracker

[Farmer Keith]

They're already up there! Hipro 450, wheat 230, fert up 50 since the turn of the year. . .

High feed prices are only bad if you’re feeding a lot, there’s a good argument that they keep a lid on production and which in turn helps keep the supply/demand equation in balance, protecting the milk price.

I just hope we have a better growing season than last year, I’ll of fed 50% more than usual over the past 12 months with having limited grass for spring calvers in April/May followed by limited silage for autumns due to no rain in April/May! Fortunately feeds been not too expensive so it’s worked out.

Things can only head North then, right?

Hopefully not inputs going to need a good milk price or else I'm going to struggle big time, had allowed for some inputs to be more expensive but not all of them at the same time

have cheese from here delivered, bloody nice, anyone supply them?

It's from South Caernarfon Creamery in North Wales, they are a farmer owned co op. The butter and cheese is really nice, and the company seems to be doing well and I think they have recently invested in their plant.

There's been some issue with text messages today, but the price increase is still going ahead. Read about it on the app or website.

No need to be wary, it's there in black and white what the requirements are to get that price. Easily achievable to exceed the standard price with the right milk components and quality.

Interesting that Waitrose no longer think milking on there own land is the best use of resources and there future direction of travel, and that is on probably the best milk price in the country.
