Cision Canada - The Weekly Round-Up

1. 2027 farmgate milk price adjustment aligned with inflation 
   The adjustment to the farmgate price of milk along with the adjustment to carrying charges will result in a total increase of 2.8245% in the cost of milk used by processors to make dairy products such as milk, cream, yogurt, cheese and butter for the retail and restaurant sectors. The net impact of these increases on the final cost of dairy products is unknown since prices are also influenced by incremental factors further along the supply chain such as labour, transportation, distribution and packaging costs. A change in price paid to farmers for their milk does not necessarily translate to a similar consumer price change.
2. Zoomlion Unveils 1,600-Horsepower 9DX Hybrid Tractor for Large-Scale Farming 
   The 9DX features a digital chassis, core components and control systems developed in-house. Its high-horsepower hybrid continuously variable transmission technology and 800-volt dual-motor coupling system deliver peak torque of 7,200 newton-meters, supporting demanding field operations with large agricultural implements. A hydraulic flow rate of 636 liters per minute supports wide seeders, large tillage equipment and variable-rate fertilizer applicators. The tractor uses a four-track drive system with proprietary 762-millimeter-wide tracks to help reduce surface soil compaction. A fully suspended cab with independent suspension provides a smoother ride for the operator.
