2ppl milk price decrease for Pensworth Dairy suppliers from May 1st

This reduces the liquid standard litre price to 22.5ppl and to 23ppl for producers who participate in Pensworths animal welfare standards.

Earlier in the month Pensworth temporarily extended its April farmer payment terms and in addition to this 2ppl cut it has now introduced A and B pricing. The May A price, based on 22.5ppl/23.0ppl (as above) will be paid on 70% of the milk supplied whilst the remaining 30% will be based on average market returns achieved in May for skim milk concentrate which recently has been trucked to Poland having been processed by Yew Tree.
