Milk will cost a bit more for people in New Brunswick starting this week.
The New Brunswick Farm Products Commission says milk will cost 6.5 cents more per litre beginning Sept. 1.
It says a mid-year price adjustment can be implemented under exceptional circumstances, adding that the last one took place in 2018.
Commission chair Bob Shannon says the increase is needed to help dairy producers and processors deal with rising costs of such things as feed, machinery and equipment repairs, fuel and oil, custom work and hired labour.
