MARKET ROUND UP FROM THE FIELD...
A good week for dairy farmers with the GDT prices up 9.9% overall at this weeks auction, and Nathan Penny from ASB still sticking to his forecast of $6 by the end of the season. On the weather front, a wet and cold week for most of us making it challenging for lambing and calving. Schedules have seen a lift of around 10 cents in most classes this week.
