Yes, it's a lot more complicated than a simple price per hec or hundred weight....
Our system is probably more complicated again. Here producers are paid for fat, protein and lactose.
However, the real complicated business starts when that milk is sold to the processors. They are billed on a class system which is determined by the end product. Fluid is highest priced, followed by top industrial uses like ice cream and cheese with powder being priced at the bottom. The last couple years we've put thousands of tonnes of powder into feed just to be rid of it.... Hopefully our prices will start moving upward again, but the expected trend was for things to be rather flat.
