He noted that whey protein prices helped stabilize milk prices, even as cheese prices fluctuated. Looking ahead, North emphasized the importance of expanding cheese production capacity and closely watching international markets, particularly Mexico, to balance supply and demand in the coming year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Nigerian dairy market is dominated by fat-filled milk powder (FFMP), which is produced by blending skimmed milk powder with vegetable fat after removing some or all of the original milk fat. In supermarkets, the products are neatly arranged on shelves. They are also sold in large, open market spaces throughout the country. In the city suburbs, they are sold in makeshift grocery shops by the roadside and hawked by street vendors at dawn as condiments for tea, making them a staple for many homes. What is unknown to the vast section of Nigerian consumers is that in Europe, where most of these products are manufactured, they are not classified as milk. Same in Nigeria where the regulator said FFMP products “are not categorised as milk in the same way as whole milk powder or skimmed milk powder.” An investigation by PREMIUM TIMES showed that for years, West Africa has been a commercial hub for cheap milk substitutes from the EU. We found continuous export of FFMP from Ireland into the region, with Nigeria as one of its largest markets. [Credit: This podcast was produced using Gogle NotebookLM]

Beef production is down again from last week and last year. Middle meats are moving up a bit, while the others are due for some lower pricing. Bellies closed at $98 and will most likely stay in this area. Avian Flu has new numbers this week, and they aren't good. Not a trend we want to see. Pricing on chicken is mostly holding steady. Grain harvest is still looking good with exports picking up in corn. Dairy is once again flipping on us. Product is available, but pricing should reduce to spur export demand.

Ben Laine, Senior Dairy Analyst at Terrain, says the past two years have brought changes in production, exports, pricing, and other factors that have forced the dairy industry to adapt and innovate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Beef on dairy – farmers have been interested in it for a few years now, and it's only gaining momentum. Tom Earleywine, director of nutritional services with Purina Feed, says the industry is in a critical time now where it needs to provide the best animals in order to secure a market before the beef herd comes back. "It really has gone crazy in the last two or three years once people recognized that the beef cow calf herd was down because of recent droughts, and... beef supply goes down," Earleywine explains. "So what can we do to provide more beef and better beef?" He tells Mid-West Farm Report what Purina's research has discovered.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Week, Chris delivers his market update from the Netherlands and Ireland and joining him is ‘Farmer Tom', Tom Martin: Founder of Farmer Time and Lancashire Dairy Farmer: John Towers. Tom developed his idea of linking a farmer with a teacher, anywhere within the UK, to deliver short fortnightly sessions to school children of all ages, relating the academic curriculum to different aspects of farming and food production. As an active Farmer Time participant, John describes his sessions as the highlight of his Week and is passionate about interacting with the children, telling the story of farming, and seeing how his messages are dissected and applied to different topics being covered in school, whether it be Food Technology, Textiles or Animal Biology etc. Farmer Time allows farming to have a positive voice in the education of children (future consumers!) and connecting them with agriculture. The programme is currently being delivered to 2% of school children and Tom wants to take this to 10% but needs 3000 farmers to help him reach this target. Would you be willing to be part of this fantastic scheme? Take a listen and see what you think. For more info, visit www.farmertime.uk

This week on the podcast, hosts Will Evans and Ben Eagle are joined by Finley Hawkins; Southern Fertiliser Business Development Manager at Frontier Agriculture and Principal Consultant at Kite; Paul Macer to discuss the current fertiliser markets following the news that CF Fertilisers is permanently closing its ammonia production plant at Billingham. Fin shares his thoughts on the outlook for gas prices and the knock on effect on fertiliser pricing for next season before Paul goes on to describe the levels and quality of forage he is seeing on farm along with the resultant impact and outlook for milk flows. Chris Walkland once again sends a milk market update from his holidays.

The dairy market has gone sour literally overnight, leaving some farmers gumboot deep in debt. Prices crashed to their lowest levels in nearly five years at the Global Dairy Trade Auction. The average price fell 7.4 percent. It's the second consecutive fall and follows a 4.3 percent dip at the auction two weeks ago. Demand from China's gone soft and experts say prices are unlikely to rebound before the end of the year. Fonterra's already slashed its forecast milk price for the season; meaning some farmers are losing money. Add to that the prospect of another interest rate rise and it paints a potentially dreary farmscape. Federated Farmers Dairy Industry Group Chair Richard McIntyre spoke to Lisa Owen.

The chroniclers of fake holidays have decided that August 8 is Happiness Happens Day and I'd like to know if there's a way to measure this elusive quantity or if it even actually exists. The Declaration of Independence aspires to allow everyone to pursue this emotion, but there are no guarantees. For some, happiness is simply being heard.

After another less than cheery milk market report from Chris this week, Will and Ben are joined by Phil Journeaux, an agricultural consultant and economist with AgFirst Waikato & John Allen, Director at Kite for an update on dairy in New Zealand. Firstly, looking back at last season for some context, Phil moves on to give some insight into outlook for this season, talking costs, inflation, interest rates and Cost of Production for NZ farmers. With John bringing it back to the UK, comparing the situation here and looking onto later this year in the UK, discussing volatility in the markets with Chris. We couldn't cover all of this without discussing what farmers are doing to mitigate some of these negative impacts and the importance of business resilience and keeping a level head in down cycles.

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.

A father-son team from central Wisconsin was turning heads during the Midwest Horse Fair's PRCA Rodeo event in Madison.  Carrie Mess shares the story of the shared passion that brought these two together. Wisconsin farmers can't get moving with spring planting, but that's not stopping insects!  Charitee Seebecker talks to UW Entomologist, Emily Bick, about corn rootworm and the economic damage the pest can cause.  She says Wisconsin's population started building last year and could cause problems for growers this year. John Hinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend, joins Pam Jahnke to recap the planting progress report and how the trade's reading it.  Milk markets have also taken a turn for the worse.  What's happening there?  Hineberg explains.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dairy markets have been a bit of a roller coaster lately but they're picking back up. That's according to Leonard Polzin, UW-Extension Dairy Markets and Policy specialist. He says consumers are still purchasing dairy products and he expects margins to rise back up. Polzin gives a recap of 2022 and explains what he's forecasting for 2023 dairy markets. “2022 was a year of highs as we had record high milk prices but we also had really high feed prices,” says Polzin. “So while the income coming in was high, so were the expenses going back out. But with that, margins still were quite good, relatively speaking.” He adds that 2022 gave a bit of a reprieve for producers to be able to catch up on some things, maybe make some new investments, and come into 2023 with a little cushion. As we come into 2023, costs have decreased, but not enough to get the margins back to where they used to be, at plus nine or ten dollar margins. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
