Fonterra's Chairman John Wilson is a happy man today with another lift in the forecast payout for dairy farmers this season.
Fonterra raised its farmgate milk price forecast for the current year to $6.15 per kg of milksolids from a previous forecast of $6/kg, and has pitched its opening milk price forecast for the coming 2017/18 season at $6.50/kg.
The Country's Jamie Mackay caught up with Wilson today to discuss the payout, the effect it has on New Zealand's economy and whether this good news is down to China.
