Wow so on my base of 4. 1 and 3.28
Would give a base of 28.35 and on my quality would return 33p
I would snap there bloody arm off for that price next year.
Can you fix 100%.?

Ah, but you are better paid for solids than we are, by about 50% extra. It's one of the things I've been harping on at them to fix. .022 and .036 for every .1 of change.
@The Agrarian ,you're a great DF man so you'll know the answer,if you are a new entrant ,so produced nothing last year,do you get the extra 3ppl for all milk produced this year? I think it's called production bonus. What if you shifted from another buyer last year?

Leaving all politics out of it, if the back stop kicks in do we in ni continue to get the sfp

The backstop is related to the customs union and single market access to prevent a hard border in Ireland . The SFP is part of the Common Agricultural Policy which we leave when we leave the EU on 29/3/19. After that agricultural support will be paid by the UK government.

Yes to the first part. No to the second obviously, as you wouldn't be a new entrant.

All processors are after milk. Lakeland was doing 3ppl for 3 years on all milk delivered. ( if my source is to be believed)

Fear not. Our political representatives are working tirelessly to ensure the interests of NI agriculture....O, hold on..... Bugger....
Add to that the free bulk tanks. Are cows dear?

All this talk of a price drop, has came as a surprise. If men aren't paying attention they'll not have spent thier spare money in time before the next crash.....
Spend away, couple of new tractors out of McElderrys, new pick up out of WRK and borrow 500k for a new dairy unit from Cormac, and then complain when production goes up, price drops and you can't make the repayments? No need to worry, we'll get a wee hardship payment from the EU.........

Loss of sfp.
Weak pound driving up costs
Exports facing possibility of tariffs
Whitehall in charge of agriculture with no input from governments which are pro farming?
What’s in this for us again?

Funny that.....I think your right. On the tv last night it said it could take longer to get out of Europe that it took Churchill to beat the jerrys

As I said on another thread, its a club you can join, but not leave - well, alive, at least. Bit like the mafia in a way.

Bate your milk out of grass cheaply you’ll take no hurt . Haven’t listened to brexit talk . Waste of time.

Grazed grass and some meal , zerograzed grass at night is our summer recipe problem is grass is only as good as the weather and a return to monsoon summers tends to negate the hoped for savings in meal.Bate your milk out of grass cheaply you’ll take no hurt . Haven’t listened to brexit talk . Waste of time.
Still no harm in looking south to moorepark for grass and grazing advice but unfortunately most of us dont have the same free draining sandy soils or slightly dryer climate.
