Milk Price Tracker

But haven't arla taken a lot of freshways coffee shop work? So they have that much surplus liquid swishing around they dont need to recruit?

Current members also are producing more Milk yoy. But as bramble says move away from less profitable outlets.

So the less profitable outlets have been dropped? Genuine interest, as the "less profitable" aspects cant have been to bad, your top of the tree on price.

I would like to see other dairy farmers have the opportunity to join Arla wether it is a feed in group or join as a direct and then after a time period with a level of investment are able to join as a full member. But obviously It can’t be a situation where it’s detrimental to Arla’s current members.

I guess, with milk at 30p current members are confident to push on and take opportunities. I'm gutted to be fair, my milks worth 4ppl more with you guys. That's 120k ffs.

Only been milking 5, so.......

 

[I thats it]

No they are not currently Recruiting. The market was never that bad if you could turn it into a storable product. Freshways are only able to process liquid milk so unable to transfers milk into other products. Where as other processors could. Corvid is a once in a lifetime situation and under normal circumstances can’t be planned for.

But yet there's a "once in a life time" event very regularly these days.

I thought the new style contract there wouldnt be much in it with the prices your put up on here. Am amazed at your Protein levels, are your feeding something diffrent to drive it, im up top 4 BF but cant get over 3.7P, i have a group of more cross breds coming through maby thats the answer!

How do you feed for more protein? Energy? Keep picking bulls with high protein put takes years to come through.

We find feeding our red clover leys or forage rape/kale helps so guess its protien diet driven?. I never buy a bull intensionally with neg P or BF.
