CORRECTION: The Milk2Market calculator originally returned a price of $6.51/kgMS if the "medium flat" farm was supplying Saputo under its south agreement but the correct price is $6.38/kgMS and the large flat farm would receive $6.61/kgMS, not $6.75/kgMS.

While Bega, Fonterra and Saputo have all announced a $6.40 a kilogram of milk solids price, the Milk2Market calculator illustrates the stark differences farmers can expect to be paid.
