In the IFJ milk league table there's no one paying 31p. Where does agri land compile the figures from?

It showed in December the Northern Ireland average farm gate price of milk (including
retrospective bonuses) was 31p/L, 2.21p/L higher than the same month in 2019.

However, the weighted average farm gate price of milk over the course of the year (from January to December 2020) was recorded as 27.01p/L, 0.2p/L lower than the same period in 2019.

From the agriland article

Average price of 31p per litre and production up 31% since 2005. Doesn't help the complaining ones arguments.

Selective interpretation of the article. December price is not representative of what happens the rest of the year.

It should be based on base price but. Basein it on base plus winter bonus and quality bonuses is not fair way of lookin at it as not every1 gets paid 31 ppl. Just makes the creamery look better.
