A new milk price analysis completed by the IFA’s dairy committee shows significant differences between the milk price paid by 11 milk processors across the country.

The analysis, based on 89 cows producing 500,000L through a spring calving system using the Teagasc Moorepark spring-calving supply profile, assumed that each farmer produced milk with average solids each month.
