Check out Ian Potters daily news update.

Arla possibly looking at a large cut in milk price, the rest probably to follow.

That could really put the cat amongst the pigeons.

milk production is down but milk price has not come back up to match as we are still below the 20 year average price.Dairy females are quite expensive probably because so many young stock have been exported(and still are).water here is an enormous issue and will probably govern future expansion.



20 years ago there was 3 times the number of dairy farmers and we where paid 30% more for the milk
10 years ago it was twice as many dairy farmers as today.
one third of the remaining dairy farmers plan to leave the business within the next 2 years.

Comformation this morning.
As of the 3rd of June

* -.4 ppl across the board
* -.45ppl for months July-September and November-March. This applies to producers not in the level production scheme.
*Reduction on fat % over 3.7 from 1.5p to .05

We are on the level production scheme but it will take our average price to a little over 18p.There will be some Arla members getting significantly less than that.Our milk doesn't go to Asda so there will be some members getting significantly more also!

Some partnership !

reduction in fat from 1.5p per % over 3.7 to 0.05p?

mind if I ask if you actually mean half a penny, or have they completely written off fat?

He means 0.5p. Still not happy news. All through over recruiting and lack of communication.

From the FFA website:

1.6.06 - ARLA MILK PRICE CUT - Unbelievable was the comment made by Andrew Hemmings, Vice chairman of FFA on the recent price cut made by Arla. He also said the time has come to draw a line in the sand, it is now up to every dairy producer in the land to get out and vent their anger and frustration on a company who obviously do not care about the livelihoods of their own producers. FFA Chairman, David Handley said this is an intolerable situation, it is pretty obvious that Sir David Naish has had his dream come true in that he has wrenched the single farm payment out of UK producers' hands. The implication of this cut is so severe, Handley said milk prices will come tumbling down like a deck of cards. In the last 24 hours he has had conversations with leading processors and retailers who cannot believe the size of this cut. Especially as one stated, this company has been actively recruiting new members, yet is basing part of its cut on overproduction. He also said no single organisation can now sort this out, dairy farmers as a whole will need to come together to put a stop to the landslide that could happen with the UK milk market. FFA will be contacting all their members over the next few days with regard to direct action to highlight this serious issue. David Handley said 'in the recent past members have been reluctant to protest, in fact some have gone as far as to say it achieves nothing. The FFA have listened to that comment and over the past 3/4 months have sat back in respect of direct action but have been very, very busy with other organisations launching campaigns that will hopefully bring better prices back to producers, but enough is enough. We will be out in the coming weeks and for all those out there who are vocal in respect of no action, Handley says it is time to put your money where your mouth is, get out on the picket line and leave your ego at home. In the year 2000 FFA were told protest will not get a better milk price but over a period of weeks FFA proved how easy it was to get 2ppl put onto the milk price through peaceful protest. We look forward to seeing you all in the coming weeks, no excuses please.

since Arla merged with MD foods it transformed into this "beast" that is only concerned with it's own well being.

Re: Milk price


Be fair now all the PLCs are only concerned with their own well being as suppliers we are third in line after shareholders and customers. In any case the price cut is due to AFMP taking on the cost of balancing milk supplies over the year, in the meantime the company recruited heavily in order to ensure that their demand peak, which unfortunatly coincides with supply trough, was covered.

The worst of this is the way it has beeen sprung upon us with no chance to take avoiding action by tweaking calving pattern say.

Still I know of one recent recruit who is calm about it as "It's still more than I was getting before."
