Grahams Dairies Scotland has increased its milk price by 1.5p/l from 1 September to bring it to 29.5p/l for a standard liquid litre price. Arla and First Milk are the only processors yet to announce their September prices.

In other news, Graham’s Dairies has lodged an appeal to overturn the decision to refuse planning for a processing plant at Airthrey Green in Stirling. The proposed £40m development was refused planning as it was believed that it did not fit in with the new Local Development Plan for the area. Additionally, there were environmental concerns about the project.
