Milk marketing boards in Eastern Canada have announced another adjustment in milk pricing to favour protein and discourage fat.
This change is to take effect on April 1. A similar adjustment came into effect Jan. 1.
The Ontario milk marketing board said the April 1 change increases the price for SNF (solids, not fat) by $2 and reduces the price for butterfat by $1.80.
The Jan. 1 change had little impact, but after April 1 observers said they expect dairy farmers will react by changing rations.
