Dairy production reaches record high as farmers 'do more with less'

Our dairy industry is continuing to reach new heights. 

Prices have risen another 3% at this morning's Global Dairy Trade auction, with whole milk powder up 5.9% and skim milk powder up 3.1%. 

The sector's also produced more than two billion kilograms of milksolids during a single season for the first time. 

Dairy NZ Chief Executive Campbell Parker told Mike Hosking it's despite farmers costs still rising. 

He says farmers are doing more with less and drive good productivity through good decision making.
