# Where are milk prices headed in rising dairy markets? - Farmers Weekly

> UK dairy farmers are expected to receive at least 28p per litre in July, the highest July price since 2014. Wholesale butter and cream prices are climbing, with prices possibly reaching 30p per litre in the coming months. Restrained supply after prolonged wet weather has left the European spring flush almost non-existent.
