Northern Ireland Milk Price Tracker

What will happen to the markets that Lakeland already supply from their southern processing plants?

Well that's a decision for Lakeland's management, my guess would be that they'd concentrate on the most profitable contracts, with UK suppliers priced out of the market by tariffs, ROI producers may not be the bad situation that was once thought.

Supply and demand will have a greater impact on our price than tariffs will. If Lakeland decide to pull out of a particular market then that market will need to be supplied by another processor.
Lack of capacity to process all NI milk in NI maybe a problem if tariffs are applied.

Right that's enough of your realistic optimism, how do expect brexit to be a disaster if we don't all talk prices down? Get with the programme man!

Today, with rain and soft fields and poor beef outlook and milk price falling and Brexit, was a day where I wasn't in love with farming.

I think they get taught it at training college, the weather is always bad during the holidays, the pupils don't want to learn, disicipline is terrible, the pay is rubbish and most of the parents don't give a stuff.
Hope she doesn't read this

Probably supply them from their newly acquired plant in the north, needs must. Business moves quicker than government

Lakeland had been keeping their bandbridge plant in running order in case it’s needed too

This is what the shelves will look like come 1st Nov, last time I saw this was during the Cuban missile crisis, I'd get hoarding some stuff now if I was you

It's well seen it's a wet miserable November, sorry August, day in North Antrim. Some of us were busy repairing a feed barrier in the dry cow house, others clearly have too much time on their hands!

A grammar school education must be a wonderful thing.
