[QUOTE="The Agrarian, post: 5470350, member: 3656"] From experience of last year's poor conditions here, the reaction of farmers was to get the check book out early. Most farmers aren't that stupid I think. Many have already taken action. Different areas warrant different reactions obviously. The only thing available to buy in any quantity in Northern Ireland is grass silage. Mind you it's just as well that rain came here in August, as last winter saw all those crappy bales of silage cleared up around the countryside. You guys have a lot more pockets of arable crops in your counties than we have. I bet plenty has been wholecropped, or straw spoken for for dry cows. A big difference is that meal price is going to be up on last year. Costs are just going to be high, but I've a feeling there'll still be milk produced. [/QUOTE]
