[QUOTE="farmer on a bike, post: 8032137, member: 295"] Before commenting, I agree how horrific the situation in the Ukraine is for the population and that our worries are nothing to what they face. What we don't know is the effect on the dairies. Supermarkets are resisting price rises and the dairy costs are going to jump, fuel for collection & delivery, plastic, and energy at the dairy. There has to a risk some buyers will reduce prices to reflect this. Therefore you need to stress test any budget with a 2ppl price drop. It is also possible your energy supplier and feed supplier may call force majeure on your contracts, so I would stress test that using 40p per unit electric and £400 on feed. I believe quite a lot of protein booked for next winter was due to come from the Ukraine where do you stand if that was your feed (or the feed your compounder ordered to make the feed) you have booked? However their is also clearly potentially an upside which I am pretty certain will overcome these risks so whilst the immediate short term may result in some frightening volatility we should all be OK in the longer run.
