Arla

[easy farming]

If you have one now and have had the payments for it then Yes you are required to keep it. If you have not changed from the 2.5" then there is no requirement to change.

You can still change it and sign up for 5 years payments on any of the one collection options.

If Arla take on any farms, it will be a requirement. Including second units.

Yes that is correct. New sign ups have to confirm to one collection rules and I think if you revamp your setup or install a new tank.

As long as we do it before the end of the year?

Before end of 2023 I think

 

[dinderleat]

With the phasing out of One Collection do I, as an arla farmer, need to have a 3" outlet on the bulk tank?

No if your an existing supplier and don’t have it you will be not made to change it.

That would be good as I have mine to do but struggling to get them here before the end of the year.

Yes, end of 2023 is when the scheme finishes.

The Seasonality? I think it make's sense.

 

[frederick]

What email?

New seasonality.

 

[Sid]

New seasonality.

Bit of a update for you.... I think Arla have lost plot on seasonality

 

[sidjon]

New seasonality.

Just looked, no email from Arla yet

 

[frederick]

Just looked, no email from Arla yet

Suprisingly it is not on the website yet

 

[TheRanger]

Go on then, hammering all these new autumn calvers?

 

[frederick]

I'm happy to discuss fellow arla farmers views of the announcement but don't want to publicise it and certainly not if not all farmers have received it yet

 

[Cows 'n grass]

I haven't worked any numbers out yet but a spring calver its safe to say I'm not impressed.

For those that haven't had the email, your core litres remain the same (annual production/365) and seasonal litres over this will be paid at 50% of your March price.

There are some positives in the autumn but I would say it's a sh!t badly thought out scheme that doesn't encourage solids production because it fixes the price of seasonal litres.

That's a very interesting point. Obviously helps you a bit in the spring by limiting the penalty.
And it definitely reads like that but surely they can't have suddenly made all litres over 90% of standard litres worth a flat ppl no matter what the solids. If that was the case it would be a deduction for a high solids producer that already produces a summer bulge.

It may do the opposite if you send less litres at a higher f and p % surely you’d get less deductions ?
