they have 12m notice period....more likely that stores are just underordering and getting caught.

Doubtful but shortages are coming with dairy farmers struggling for staff and struggling to cope with all the stupid rules and regs forced on them by milk buyers and the EA. Costs of modern dairy farming are mind blowing too. Multiple inspections from jumped up little hitlers with more and more stupidity, rules over what feed you can and cant feed because of where the soya is sourced etc. If milk gets short dairy firms will only have themselves to blame . I dont think they will wake up to it until the fridges and shelves are empty one morning in this country .

We supply a local Coop with milk which they sell alongside their "co-op" milk.
The tills are connected to the co-op distribution centre to create auto ordering.
Often get calls, Co-op wagon has turned up with no milk, or short order, can you help us out.
Not every s/market are bright enough to have someone like us as a plan B

Farmers will get the blame if shelves are empty

precisely, production is on a par with last years, and liquid market will always prioritise supplies by topping up with spot when needed

I agree, lots of dispersal sales and a lot of smaller ones probably quietly disappearing as well. Then we have the superstars putting on a few hundred more cows, etc. building new rotaries and putting on 500 more cows to pay for it.. Muller and co must love them...until a video appears of cows being mistreated...

Foreign labour ,plus they seem to pay better than most

each to their own I guess... slurry must be a full time job

Oh yes slurry moved daily

Finding somewhere to move it to is the problem, not just the storage especially on these units buying up cows

As above.

Used to work for a major processor that supplied Tesco. Their orders came electronically at 6 am for next day delivery-all very high tech, generated by sales through the tills, historic data etc. BUT had to wait every day for a chap at our Head Office to confirm that the orders were good to go.

Things like a Bank Holiday or bad weather on the same date last year would throw the figures out.
