Fonterra seen as having to lower its milk price forecast soon, as one major bank economist slashes his forecast price by over a dollar
26th Jul 23, 1:13pm
‘Fonterra's very likely to cut its milk price forecast for farmers soon and it is looking like this season's milk price will be below the break-even point for many farmers, according to Westpac economists.
In a Dairy Update, Westpac senior agri economist Nathan Penny has slashed his own forecast for the current season milk price by over a dollar.
Giant dairy co-operative Fonterra has made an opening milk price forecast for the season that started last month of between $7.25-$8.75 per kilogram of milk solids, giving a 'mid-point' price of $8.
Penny, who has tended to be something of a milk price 'bull' - but has a good track record at picking the price - has now lowered his forecast to $7.80 from $8.90.
Last week, following another lacklustre GlobalDairyTrade auction result, ANZ agricultural economist Susan Kilsby, dropped her forecast by 50c and now has a price of $7.75.
Penny said that for many farmers, this season’s milk price is likely to be below their break-even point.’
It wasn't just Ardern that mentioned far right influences and if you don't think there were people there influenced by the likes of Qanon, Brietbart & Trump and other far right misinformation peddlers then you are misguided.
But then again if someone jaywalked Ardern was blamed by her opponents so it wouldn't surprise me if there was this sort of skewed thinking.
Influenced is the key word, not that they had to be physically present.
Yeah, there would have been ‘some’ people there ‘influenced’ by ‘Qanon, Brietbart & Trump and other far right misinformation peddlers’.
These people would have been far outnumbered by maori radicals and professional protestors, Green hemp-smoking hippies and astrologers, anti-mandate people upset they had lost their jobs, various home-grown kooks and oddballs, plus a smattering of libertarians and independent thinkers.
I’d say there were definitely some violent criminals who attended as well, the kind of people who gravitate to where ‘something is going down’ and would enjoy a confrontation with the hated police. The kind of people who would thrive on a riot and a running street battle with police.
