Milk Prices Expected To Increase This Fall

Jun 23, 2022

As expected, the price of milk will be going up for a second time this year.

The Canadian Dairy Commission, which governs what farmers are paid for the milk they produce, approved another 2.5 percent hike in farmgate milk prices slated for September 1st. That's on top of the 8.4 percent hike that came into effect back in February.

It's the first time two separate increases in milk prices have been approved in a single year, but dairy producers say they are facing higher prices for inputs like fertilizer and feed, following last summer's drought on the prairies.

Canada's food professor, Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, who's been critical of the CDC in the past, says the hike this fall could have been worse. Charlebois says the commission is beginning to listen to consumers and the concerns many have when it comes to food inflation. The price hiked approved this week, will mean the price for milk and other dairy products will be climbing again this fall.

What happens when a farm buys its first Fendt? For Peter Watson Jones Ltd, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 has exceeded expectations from day one. For Jack, Farm Manager at Peter Watson Jones Ltd in North Shropshire, UK, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 wasn't just another tractor purchase. It was the farm's first experience with the Fendt brand.

Operating across a 1,200-acre arable farm alongside a 250,000-head broiler enterprise, the business has evolved significantly over the last decade, moving to a straight arable system with fewer staff and machines. Since arriving on the farm, the Fendt 726 Vario has established itself as the main drilling and cultivations tractor, earning its place through performance, versatility and efficiency. Whether it's handling large-scale cultivations or working with a new 4.5m strip-till drill, the tractor continues to impress.

Jack highlights its excellent manoeuvrability, operator comfort and ability to deliver strong pulling power at low engine speeds. The result? Outstanding fuel efficiency without compromising performance. Reliability has also been a key factor, with dependable backup from the team at TR Machinery helping to keep the tractor working when it matters most.

?? Watch as Jack shares why the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7, the farm's first Fendt, has made such a strong impression and become an integral part of their operation.
