0.5ppl bonus for suppliers to Crediton Dairy = from 1st April
Posted on: 22/03/19
From 1st April Crediton dairy will introduce a 0.5ppl bonus for producers who opt into recording specified health & Welfare parameters under its Farm Metrics Scheme which includes lameness, mastitis etc.
Whilst the scheme is optional it is anticipated that a very significant percentage of Creditons suppliers will opt in and achieve the new premium. Payments will be made each month and not accumulated and paid at the end of the year as practised by some milk purchasers who appear to fear producers might give notice to leave in which case those under notice forfeit any such bonus. Crediton are understandably more confident in the stability and loyalties of its producer base hence the decision to pay all who qualify for the bonus on a monthly basis.
Given the almost inevitable certainty that more than 50% of Crediton suppliers will take part it will increase the Crediton standard litre price to 28.5ppl.
