May 18, 2023 EP155: Peak Milk & Forage: Quality over Quantity
This Week, Chris Walkland gives us his usual market update which leads us perfectly into a great discussion with Kite’s very own Paul Macer, Eliot Greenfield, and Becki Leach to deliberate if we have reached peak milk for 2023 and where we can expect volumes to go from here. With Eliot based in the North and Paul based in the South, they consider how the slow spring and catchy weather is affecting grass growth, first cut, forage quantities and quality and how all of this, along with milk price is impacting farm sentiment.
