The price of wholemilk powder, which has the biggest influence on the milk payout, increased 19.2%.

That might not be enough to increase the payout but it will help prevent another drop in it.

    I don’t have the personal wealth to do so, Mr E, but I do think it is a pity that ownership has moved off shore. What is your view?
