What sort of cows have you got? Very good quality.
There's been alot of workers working throughout the pandemic with very little thanks or financial renumeration for doing so. Is anyone really surprised by this?Dairy giant Arla says driver crisis hitting milk supply

Labour is the elephant in the room in my opinion in the next few years
The wages on offer up here are really good comparatively to other jobs yet people still don’t want to milk so definitely agree.I think labour will be the new milk quota!
I think the unsocial hours don't suit everyone. Getting up 4/4.30 and finishing after 6 at night.The wages on offer up here are really good comparatively to other jobs yet people still don’t want to milk so definitely agree.

Were far from a 5shite job but finding anyone reliable to do anything Is getting nearly impossible, have a great full time stockman who’ll do anything except milk and few really good part timers filling in as an extra to their full time jobs outside of farming but finding the other member of staff needed seems almost impossible, have spent money in past year to try and save on labour and make things quicker and easier without compromising welfare or quality. if I wasn’t prepared to milk cows every day we would likely be soon looking at exiting dairying.Must be a lot of 5shite jobs suffering from the merry go around of 5hite herdsmen/managers that would be getting past the point of no return or struggling to find agency staff to plug the gaps? How are firms like LKL managing to find staff?

What is Spot market price at the moment, now we are entering the production low point for the year ?
As far as I can see money markets have been very stable for months.32-34ppl according to milk prices.com. Been a similar level for the last couple of weeks. The strengthening pound won’t be helping U.K. prices
Our b litre price for July should be in excess of 30ppl. Buying in milk during the week has been touching 35ppl, selling milk out at a weekend down as low as 25pplWhat is Spot market price at the moment, now we are entering the production low point for the year ?
