Milk Price Tracker

[Fergieman]

Have seen a few posts on social media about how great Arlas profit is and how great farmers are doing, going to buy another fendt etc.

Please just be aware how some of the general public are bearing up with job losses etc.
I know we all have to make a profit but probably a bit more low key at this time.

How many new fendts can one dairy farmer have?

So its not OK for an Arla farmer to say hes buying a new Fendt but its fine for you to say it!

Looks like butter and powder driving it,

would be interesting to put a UK milk price to this graph and see if there is an correlation.

Very true.
Edited.
Apologies.
Edit-this isn't public social media though.

Don’t know. Hopefully not a sudden crash again.

What about april/june

 

[Bramble]

Same as March 26ppl

 

[Beef farmer]

I'm intrigued as to how they can price July's milk now

Anticipated opening of the food service sector/coffee shops/restaurants etc. It is supposed the MINIMUM price, but you can bet it will change if lockdown continues longer through the summer

What's the betting the UK non-aligned milk market underperforms...

Just when we should be getting 30p plus it just ebbs along in the 20's...

Sooner or later these lower ranking liquid milk buyers won't have any supply and will serve them right.

UK Farm gate price in blue, oil price in red (Right hand axis). Couldn't get all on one graph as have to pay to download historical GDT data so hashed a screen shot together on same time scale (roughly)...

 

[pine_guy]

Thankyou for that. Very interesting

Think I would rather have stability. Either either the country is going to get short-term inflation we’re going to get a boom or bust or even both

We produce a commodity they tend to follow a boom and bust cycle.

Not in a low inflation environment which we have enjoyed for the last 4 to 5 years

Surely inflation rates have been low since 1993, albeit with a minor blip in 2009 & 2011. I don't see the link. I agree the market has been quiet for 4-5 years but with feed prices taking off, it seems very likely milk prices will follow because otherwise production will fall, as it normally does.
