[Martyn]

After the month we have had with DC and the lies and accusations they have made I wouldnt be surprised if they don't play funny games with paying. Sh!t will hit the fan if not in the bank Monday

Last year i managed an 8ppl price hike from June to July because of seasonality. Let's hope I can manage similar this year.

I've been outed.. I should never have admitted to such high yields, normally I'm so good at hiding my intensive inner self.

What was your highest production month this year?

What was your highest production month this year?

May, but it was less than 1% higher than June on a solids basis. I don't have the best block (14 weeks), so calving drags on until the end of May.

Seems to always go up at this time of year, perhaps to encourage everyone through calving and get the milk cranking. Then when it’s all systems go and the milks all there they can drop the price
Or is that just my imagination?

Losing money at that?

Some people will be before the 2p drop. We supply first milk and managed to turn a profit with an average price in the 15-16p bracket. Not really sure how.

Not really surprising since they binned their basket pricing mechanism (average of other buyers) in the spring and moved to a ‘market generated price’.

Price cut due to a drop in cream prices apparently, ironic really that their B litre (spot) price is now likely to be higher than their A price!!

The farmer is now taking all the risk on this contract now.

Freshways management can sell the milk at whatever price they like to their buyers, and also they don’t need to worry how they market any oversupply. All the cuts can now be passed directly back to suppliers through either the A or B price

I guess they can only do it if there suppliers can't find another buyer
