Then depending on what use the whey is used for, what value could also be added to the whey? I haven't seen any figure like that in the public domain. All we hear is world market and intervention prices of powder and cheese. I have yet to see a full breakdown of all the components of the milk being properly valued.

If they paid me what they owed me I wouldn't even be so concerned about them. As for stocks going out of date? I haven't heard but I wouldn't be surprised. A similar situation just a few months ago with Cheese. Had to be given away for free before it went out of date. Not looking good if your information is correct.

I don't think it's a good idea fixing at bottom of market but suppliers who join 1st scheme will get preference in the future schemes. Aurivo pulled price to 22cent today so looking at about 25cent with my solids, I havnt got the milk cheque yet so not sure on exact price

Milked out wrote: » What time frame will yer fixed price scheme be over? I agree with you on not being inclined to fix at the bottom of the market. DG brought out there first one this year as well, I fixed the max amount, 15% of last year's supply, at approx 30 cent including quality bonus. Main reason I did is its only for 18 months so will be finished by end of '17 and I don't see milk price being above that for many of those months. If it was any longer I may not of entered it. It has brought my price up by just about a cent for last 2 months anyway
