Milk production a week behind

By FWi staff

MONTHLY milk production slipped below profile for the sixth time this milk year in November, according to latest figures released by the Intervention Board.

Producers delivered 1.02 billion butterfat-adjusted litres to processors during the month, nearly 44m litres, or 4%, below profile.

The cumulative total now stands at 9.1bn butterfat-adjusted litres, 287m litres, or 3%, under profile.

This is the equivalent of about one weeks supply.
