no doubt a remainder , dont post anything that will give these people a reason to report a thread.

i shall repeat the good news ,

because of bretex the price of milk has gone up by 2p a litre for farmers , with a further increase in the autumn, my local neighbour dairy farmer tells me, ironically he voted to remain, but he is very glad of the increase, a positive result because of bretex for this industry

My O/H works on a farm, he has never ever voted before but he used his vote and voted leave.

The farm owner was at one time planning to vote remain (think he may of been swaying nearer the time of voting we never asked which way he went)

His son however who has taken over from his dad (as he is getting to old to continue to run the farm) voted to leave,

All of them often go to several farmers meetings /shows and the topic of conversation between most farmers was the referendum, in talking with other farmers and actual polls taking at events (taken by dropping balls into the appropriate vessel), more farmers were for Brexit,

we was also following the voting of farmers weekly (online) which showed that farmers were mainly for Brexit

Not much point if they are just going to spit them out.

So, stupid question time... Why the 2p increase? Are the supermarkets suddenly feeling generous? Or is there a global milk shortage that we haven't heard about?

yes it is a stupid question , nothing to do with the super markets directly , im sure if you had researched your own answer you would understand it costs more to import milk, and its cheaper to export, milk, milk is also converted into other products like cheese, which is seeing a great improvement across the board in exports , directly due to bretex, the price of milk as below, we will also see higher prices at market for lambs and calfs, for the home market as well as export,

The first 0.25p/litre of this was paid in June.
The B litres price for July will rise by 2p/litre to 15.1p/litre as a result of market improvements, with the spot milk price now in the region of 20p/litre.
A spokesman said that the B litre price was also looking “very positive” for August.

First Milk A and B standard litre milk prices
	July 2016
Milk pool	A p/litre	B p/litre
Haverfordwest	17.39	15.1
Lake District	16.46	15.1
Scottish Mainland	16.38	15.1
Midlands	15.84	15.1

Direct Milk

At producer organisation (PO) Direct Milk DPO, whose members send milk to Muller following their transfer from Dairy Crest, there will be no change in price for August on standard litre and organic prices.
The PO said in a newsletter to members that if improvements in dairy commodity markets were sustained, there should be farmgate price benefits further ahead.

Charming. But since it was a stupid question, I'll ask another more sensible one.

I did some research, as you suggested, and it appears that you missed out this passage from your quoted text:

"All of this increase will come not from the milk market but as part of the 2p/litre performance bonus which First Milk pledged in spring that it would pay over the current milk year. The bonus is being paid as a result of the structural and other changes made at First Milk over the past year or so."

Is it not the case then that this 2p/litre increase has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the EURef result?
