Holy smokes. 12 foot diameter. Wouldn't like to be standing in the same townland when that yin throws a blade.

I think you'll find it's a ballymena story.....

Digester men could possibly get 3 subs. Sfp on the land, 4 rocs for the AD plant then also RHI assuming of course you had a viable use for the excess heat produced. It's my understanding that only a few plants are claiming RHI.

If they had glass houses up would they get rhi

I doubt it. Mainly guys who put in a drying floor for wood chip or grain who qualified for RHI. I did see an AD plant in Germany on a dairy farm that used the heat in pipes in underground floors in the the cubicles and scraper passages. It stopped the slurry freezing in their cold winters and also pre heated the slurry being scrapped back into the reception pit leading to the AD plant

Fat cows not a great trade. 4 at wd expected 1600. Didn't make 12

 

[Aircooled]

They've been that way since the end of november. Now the whole beef trade is struggling.

 

[The Agrarian]

I'm feeding half a dozen cows in since end of November hoping it'll come round again.

If they vote down may's deal it might weaken the pound a bit more.

 

[Stuart1]

Have to put a few dry cows out due to having no room from. But they look content.

 

[surprisefarmer]

Jealous of all that grass you have

 

[The Agrarian]

Make sure they have a lick bucket.

 

[Happy at it]

Whats the best you can hope to be paid for heavy fed cows per kilo at the plant?

 

[it's not over]

go by the lowest price and you'll never be disappointed

 

[Happy at it]

Be lucky to get O grades all the same, I take it when you drop into ps your paid at their discretion.

 

[The Agrarian]

Not exactly. Your agent will be able to tell you fairly closely what a P=1= will be paid at, and if there might be an under weight penalty. It'll be miserable all the same.

At Halloween a P=1+ I think might have scraped 180, then they dropped to 160, and I'll bet they're probably less today. I'll find out tomorrow.

Get Farming Life on Saturday. Go to LMC bulletin page. Look at prices paid for cows. Cow prices are complicated. It goes by weight as well as grade. Use this price reference when pricing at factory...they always try and give less to dairy farmers who have no beef cattle.

More meal

Dale farm dropping another penny will bring you back to earth

Tanker driver tells me the banks have been in touch with the dairy to see what the brexit plan is as some of their dairy farming clients are well exposed......and so are the banks....exposed
