Milk price
All processors held their milk price for October, with Glanbia milk suppliers receiving 29.41c/l, Carbery at 29.8c/l, Dairygold at 30.12c/l, and Lakeland at 30.36c/l.
The overall positive trend in milk markets confirmed farmers’ impression that co-ops had not stretched themselves in October’s milk price, possibly with one eye on an impending Brexit mess, ICMSA dairy committee chair Gerald Quain said.
