[QUOTE="lazy farmer, post: 1844756, member: 5031"] get multiple quotes the next time the contract is due. make sure you know when its due as there is still much underhandedness when it comes to renewals. we have the lights on timers so they are off between midnight and 5am. am not convincied by the research into light and milk production. we have solar and looking at current FITs rates I would be suggesting a 10% return is still perfectly achievable. wind would be less I would suggest. we also have varivac on the parlour and the milk pump + heat recovery which means we tend to do 2 hot washes a day even though we only pay for one! If you were to include the FITs and export payments we current have a minus figure for electricity usage [/QUOTE]
