    Dairy farmers have plenty to be positive about, despite the recent drop in global dairy prices


    Overall prices are down 3.6 percent at the latest auction overnight.

    The all-important whole milk powder price is down 4.4 percent, while the skim milk powder price has dropped 4.2 percent.
