With being a farmer you are no doubt enjoying the increased pay-outs, that are long deserved! With this being a good season so far, it provides you the opportunity to potentially pay down debt, which no doubt was largely been attributed from previous tough seasons and now you can enjoy reaping the rewards.
As stated in Agri HQ FWplus “Fonterra anticipates bigger growth in milk supply this season with dry conditions not as bad as last year’s drought, and the incentive of a higher forecast farmgate payout.
New Zealand milk volumes are forecast to rise 7.5% to 1.57 million kilograms of milksolids (kg MS) in the 2013-14 season. This was up from a previous expectation of 6.4% growth, Fonterra said. Based on the forecast payout to farmers of $8.65/kg MS, that implies Fonterra will pay some $13.61 billion to source local milk in the season. Fonterra’s NZ-sourced milk costs were $8.64b in the year ended July 31, 2013.”
