[QUOTE="Bramble, post: 7587910, member: 829"] Depends if you like the month to month lottery of having your milk price changed. At 29p I’d fix some of my supply if offered those terms. It’s not much different to forward selling crops, all about risk management. The crops market is more sophisticated in that you can offset some of these forward sales with options etc if you think you might get it wrong. The milk market doesn’t have these risk management tools so taking a forward price is more of a risk. Speaking as a Freshways supplier 29p is something I haven’t seen for 5 years at least [/QUOTE]
