Maybe but no grantee he'd be better of financially.
As you say , not a hardcore spring milk sender, IIRC there is a maximum penalty of -7ppl for those guysI know it's annoying isn't it. It's there new seasonality scheme. We average about 4500 litres a day in the Autumn and 5200 litres in the spring so we're hardly a hardcore spring milk sender in my eyes.
Cool, can spend it all on fixing the bloody grass the cows have pugged overArla up 0.44ppl 1st June
Would have said that needs to be atleast 30ppl to be worthwhile, I always wonder why these contracts get offered and always come to the conclusion that they think the milk price is going to go upwards and want to continue paying us peanutsMuller offer 29p fixed price deal for 3 years on 50% of milk production along with Lidl
Muller repeats fixed-price offer to milk producers - Farmers Weekly
Muller and retailer Lidl GB have launched a three-year, fixed-price option for dairy farmer suppliers. The offer of 29p/litre from 1 July 2021 is open towww.fwi.co.uk

50% at 29p, 50% at 21p, doesn’t leave much, especially as input prices have and are rocketing.Or they could get it totally wrong and it drops.
If you were able to produce milk consistently for less than 25ppl being guaranteed half your milk cheque for the next 3 years might sound tempting.
Exactly this. The way some dairies have behaved of late I wouldn’t put it past them to screw you by letting you fix half then having a different price to the rest for your other 50%.50% at 29p, 50% at 21p, doesn’t leave much, especially as input prices have and are rocketing.
Indeed, they could manipulate the average price to be whatever they wanted but it would look bad if the other half was significantly below the rest of the marketplaceExactly this.

I would also assume that if you agreed for 3 years you would have to honour that contract and stay?
Current Muller base price is 26.25, rising a penny next month, plus or minus a bit with a few add ons or possibly penalties.A supermarket offering 29ppl when the nz milk price is projected to be 33 and that supermarket will expect a level 365 supply certainly means they are expecting the second and third year to be very bad for dairy

Don’t know wether the 29 will be subject to the add ons/ penalties as well.
Milk price is rising as you say in NZ and faster and from a higher level with Arla back home, it’s all a gamble, we don’t know where the milk price will be come autumn let alone in 2 or 3 years time.
At a guess, Muller have no more idea than me over the longer term but a 3 year fixed price could help them do a 3 year deal with Lidl, knowing one of their biggest costs is fixed
Been through this over here with dale farm/United. Fixed at 27p over the 3 years average unfixed price was...............27p. After 3 years new deal increased to a whopping.............27.5pIt would be interesting to see if there base price dropped if a significant number of suppliers took them up on it.
