This week Will and Ben are joined by Neil Wilson, Director of SAB Advisory Ltd and Edward Lott, Managing Partner at Kite. With our recent analysis predicting break-even milk price at 40ppl, they discuss the time delay between input price and milk price rises and the impact this is having on cash flows.
