Ulster Farmers’ Union milk price indicator: Aside from a slight slip last week for Dutch skimmed milk power, dairy markets remain quiet and stable. Latest New Zealand trading event saw the all product index increase by one-point-eight percent with similar gains for whole milk powder. UK butter currently in or around £3,000/tonne, almost at parity with cream in terms of fat value basis. Meanwhile positivity remains for cheddar prices.

In today’s world of regulation and inspections it is very reassuring to know that as a member , the support and knowledge of the Ulster Farmers Union is only a phone call away .The expertise and depth of knowledge that the Policy Officers and Technical Officers have right across all aspects of our industry is second to none. When a situation arose on our farm involving the Environment Agency, the support and advice we received from the Union proved invaluable. We suddenly found ourselves in a situation completely outside our previous experience and the fact that the Union was there for us at every stage made a huge difference.

Having a UFU membership is a very prudent investment. Members have access to a highly motivated team who are fighting for the best results that can be obtained to help our farming business.

We used the BASC pest control scheme to get rid of a rabbit problem we had. It was free through our UFU membership and was a great help as it saved me the time and money having to get rid of the rabbits myself.
