Had a talk from dairy market analyst Erik Elgersma at our milk buyer producer meeting and safe to say it didn’t sound overly optimistic short term price wise and medium/long term wasn’t a lot better!

Kite podcast moaning on about the spring flush and how prices will rise in the second half.
mu question is how do we expect prices to
Rise when demand is only slowly recovering but we are producing more milk than last yr?

The spring got flushed. Most fert is still in the shed and grazing herds stuck in sheds. Milk Price too low to drive production from purchased feed.
Should restrict production for the whole summer as the drought kicks in.

Got to have spring before we have a spring flush!
old saying around here, and no doubt elsewhere, 'blackthorn winter', usually get a shite spell then, and its coming out now.

another one, sow spring barley, by day and night, when blackthorns out.

need to clear some grass, before we can get the barley in.
 
often reckon they tell us any old story, to keep the price down

statistics statistics, and damned statistics, they can all be twisted round.

If they wanted to keep the price down they would be telling us it was short surely.

They want the plants as full as possible for as cheap as possible. It’s really as simple as that. Lots of money been spent on processing both in the uk and the states lately. States struggling to fill its spare currently.
