Thankfully Yew Tree made it a simple choice

Turns 28ppl into 11ppl. Any one stayed? Or all gone to yewtree?

The article states global production up 1%
Demand up 1.50 - 2%

Prices firm for the first 6 months.

Obviously I need to read beyond the headlines. ?

I'm planning on following what happens over there when the milk price drops.... feed more to make up for drop in income.

70mm in the past 48hours, 20mm+ last week and some coming in at the weekend we're pretty well set til feb. Hopefully it won't be like last summer.

Most people are down on last season after a poor spring

Its a not so Merry Christmas from Saputo with a 0.7ppl drop from 1st Feb taking the price to 29.2ppl for standard manufacturing litre.

 

[jimmer]

Wonder if that's to ready us for new contract?

Just about sums it up wasn't expecting that.

You mean that the ones that would be better off on it won't be so better off?

 

[jimmer]

Or they'd look daft if we were all worse off on new contract

 

[Bald Rick]

Ah. Saputo are just warming us all up for the Boris Brexit.

Sure as eggs is eggs Glanbia will be issuing a "Dear John" letter in light of tariffs, Triffids, termites and terminal velocity

Hate to say it, but i have suspicions that Saputo will operate similar to Muller take over of Wisemans, they dont have cash to massive expand davidstow, the milk factor needs heavy investment now to keep with current milk intakes, so they won't worry about loosing some milk. They need a good return on investment, cant see them being a strong milk buyer in three years time.

But they want more milk if they don't get it the job won't stack up that way either.

My bank balance wouldn't seem think so, but I do realize it could be worst and feel very sorry for people on 25 ppl dunno how they are managing it. Brought a new bulk tank yesterday so could stay on every other day for them so could done with out that drop. Has it don't keep going down now.

And out of interest if you think that is a good price what would you say the price was like 25 years ago when dad was getting 26ppl then.? Back then one litre of milk would buy three litres of diesel now takes two litres of milk to buy one litre of diesel.?wonder how many business would call that progress.

Arla stand on milk price for January (small change of - 0.15p on currency) making it 12 months without change for conventional milk albeit with some small currency changes.

With constituents at an all time high into the factory, the new contract would have acted as a decent price rise for many. So we may get back to 29.9ppl in april?
