in other words, if it suits them, they mightIt seemed to have a positive effect on the market though for most
70ppl sounds rather nice, except everybody will start pumping milk out, and the price will go down.

Not if it costs 72p to produce it.in other words, if it suits them, they might

the only real way, to increase profit, is to reduce COP, which is very difficult, but retailers have worked out the best 25% of producers costs, and if anyone thinks they will pay, any more than they absolutely have to, is dreaming. Prices rise, when product is short, and they have to compete, to purchase what they need. Even then, its the least possible amount, regardless of what it actually costs to produce it. Up till the present day, retailers have been able to source, all the milk they need, at their price, and despite all the facts and figures, showing COP as more than their price, they continue to receive the milk, they require, with no problems. If, you were in their shoes, with producers telling you, they can't produce it, at their price, but you could source all you need, without any problem, what would you say ?Not if it costs 72p to produce it.
Everyone does realize my 70ppl thing was a joke don't they ?the only real way, to increase profit, is to reduce COP, which is very difficult, but retailers have worked out the best 25% of producers costs, and if anyone thinks they will pay, any more than they absolutely have to, is dreaming.

To add further insult, up till now, when milk has been 'short', and they up the price, all we do, as farmers, is increase production, and then, milk is no longer 'short', so they drop the price, that scenario, has happened time, and time again, and each time we have to run faster, to stay in the same place. And there is only dairy farmers to blame for that, we never seem to learn the lesson. For absolute certainty, there are dairy farmers, working out, how to increase their production, on todays rising prices, how much to buy more cows, put up new buildings/parlour, take on more land etc, heard of 1 farm, bidding £260ac, and not getting it, which is all fine. So, more milk, price goes down, then it is most certainly not all right.. And, who is to blame ?
I will say, for once, there might not be enough incentive to increase production, at 70ppl though, farmers will jump. So, the only certain way to increase profit, is through cutting COP. And that is hard.
No?! I phoned roddas today demanding 75ppl because of you!!Everyone does realize my 70ppl thing was a joke don't they ?
I think with the market effects that you mentioned the future months for us will soon not look as rosey as those factors also play a part in what our milk price will be.I see Fonterra has lowered its forecast for this season. The Chinese lockdown, Russia and Sri Lanka seem to be getting the blame.
Get to the end of the season and lower the price
Funny how different countries do things, this thread is full of prices for future months, while our lot haven't decided what to pay for milk produced months ago.
Are your inputs sky high due to high European gas prices and Ukraine war or some other excuse?I see Fonterra has lowered its forecast for this season. The Chinese lockdown, Russia and Sri Lanka seem to be getting the blame.

There are going to be some very expensive products sat in store this year waiting to mature or find a route to market.I see Fonterra has lowered its forecast for this season. The Chinese lockdown, Russia and Sri Lanka seem to be getting the blame.

They’ve still got to eat something though. Ports are only able to be closed for so long.There are going to be some very expensive products sat in store this year waiting to mature or find a route to market.
I hope I'm wrong but there could be casualties.
l don't think any of us can predict what will happen, in the coming months, mainly down to a nutter, that no-one can 2nd guess, those options vary from nuclear, general, war, or an assassination, hopefully the latter.I think with the market effects that you mentioned the future months for us will soon not look as rosey as those factors also play a part in what our milk price will be.

Other than fuel, which has gone up a lot, I don't really know. Getting everything in and out of the country has been tricky for a while. Generally people are saying everything's gone up.Are your inputs sky high due to high European gas prices and Ukraine war or some other excuse?
Glanbia up 2ppl for June. 42ppl standard litre. Would like to see 50ppl for September but doubt we will get there.
