First Milk Direct:

Boosting profitability and helping to cut costs

First Milk Direct is a key member benefit. It offers farmers the opportunity to purchase top-quality dairy inputs and products at competitive prices, helping to boost their profitability and cut costs.

Being a member of First Milk Direct can generate significant savings and deliver potential margin improvements, unavailable to other dairy farmers in the UK. Currently, for example, an average member using First Milk Direct can make savings of up to 1 pence per litre.

The buying and co-operative power of First Milk Direct means it can realise substantial benefits for its members across a range of areas such as feed, fertiliser, clusters, sawdust and tanks. Its agreement with British Gas is currently delivering reduced electricity costs to members and its Milking Cluster Exchange Scheme is facilitating easy upgrading of this key piece of equipment.
