Seems that is not a matter of “if” but “when”Not a chance, cows will be gone on loads of farms if it is.

Potter reporting GB dairy farmer numbers down to 8000. Over 300 gone in the last 12 months.Seems that is not a matter of “if” but “when”
Might be at 33p.Not a chance, cows will be gone on loads of farms if it is.
Latest figures seem to be last Dec. Figures on here ...What are total cow numbers doing though?
Just had a text off my contractor, local Freshways farm is selling the cows, Freshways will struggle to get anywhere near enough milk going forward.So does freshways no hoops 33p put them nearly top of the table if buggeration is taken into account?
Can most on here get plenty off staff @ good rates of pay .Biggest business restriction at the moment in my opinionLabour is also going to have a huge impact as larger units that rely of cheap labour are going to struggle to find staff.

Expect it's a bigger drop than that if you include removal of PWAB payment on Non allocation and the 1ppl cut of the original winter price.We've gone down 3p since June. We're organic so don't use any fertilizer but cake is getting ridiculous over £500 a ton
In April,May and June we will probably be on 5p less than conventional. Crazy.Expect it's a bigger drop than that if you include removal of PWAB payment on Non allocation and the 1ppl cut of the original winter price.
If spring price is too high,as it was IMHO this year for us hence the price cut, then you don't have the level supply the customer needs.In April,May and June we will probably be on 5p less than conventional. Crazy.
100% buy nowThat's what I'm hoping for though, static is absolutely fine by me, what scares the crap out of me is inputs up by a quarter and milk moving by 10%
I need a good year next year as this one has been underwhelming to say the least
Now next question for everyone I have a load of fert in the shed atm, that will get me through until mid April, do I buy another load now at £600/t or do I wait until the spring and risk not getting it? Dad and I are currently arguing about this, he says wait I say buy now
Absolutely detest ‘the new quota’ analogygoing to be the new quota, could be entering the age of the family farm again?
Lots of manager ran chicken units struggling around here as can’t find staff.
Faceache has been swamped with job adverts the last month for dairy farms and that is across all herd sizes.Labour is also going to have a huge impact as larger units that rely of cheap labour are going to struggle to find staff.
Aye how much tho £££I'm currently advertising a job for a General Farm Worker. Working every second weekend and a day off through the week when on at the weekend, 30 hours one week/40 the other. 9 o' clock start, 4 o' clock finish other than on the weekend when covering milkings.
We have no house to go with the job unfortunately. Not had much interest. Only a couple or 16 year old boys with no transport or means of getting to work, and a guy from 100 miles away who's Facebook profile was full of posts about bail conditions and getting out of prison!
