Have you seen the person concerned bank account?, otherwise just a rumour, and a very astute move on the part of the chap concerned, he gets to keep his money, and the contractor has to wait an extra 6 months for his money, and takes the risk in a year when it looked like forage was going to be cheap.
Not in this case sadly. It's a bad situ.
 
Mmmmmmm, weather I'm milking cows or Not, me and brother want 30k each a year. Land purchase wants xxk. I suppose if I was not to be milking cows, I might want 40k to keep me busy, so guess it would be variable
what you are in effect talking about is wages and there are many ways of milking cows that either increase or decrease hours worked over the business as a whole.so I would argue it is variable cost.
 
Just trying to get my head around these dairy profit figures you guys will know the real life figures lets say dairy is making £1000/cow gross margin @30ppl according to farm management handbook thats about £200/cow net profit after labour/power/overheads/rent and finance, however many dairy farmers say break even is 24ppl so a 0.06 profit times 9000l is £540/ cow net profit, which is more accurate for the av farmer?
