How much price warning does the market have to give the supply side over too much milk, before it is realised the long term damage that might be inflicted? A bit more it would seem. At this rate it seems both sides of the market are going to hurt from this downturn in the future.

For those not lucky enough to be retailer aligned. Our StoneXMilkpricescom UKMFE is now at a 4yr low having lost 10ppl since the start of August with little signs of stopping. Milk production needs to drop quickly otherwise most milk price cuts implemented to date will seem tame

It is October and the system is awash with milk, some trying to run maintenance shutdowns are struggling to place the milk on any terms. Hence the spot milk price range has widened with distressed loads fetching low as 18ppl to some requiring a top up paying as high as 34ppl del.
