Plenty of capacity. Lacpatricks new dryer will be running in the coming weeks and they have other processors knocking on the door scared s#itless of a hard brexit and looking for a Northern outlet to dump milk. It's possible LP will get offered some cheap milk if the panic starts.

New dryer has the capacity to cope with all the milk in NI.

Heard of 3 LP producers who jumped ship this month and thought they could do it without no repercussions. They're still waiting on their milk cheque.

Have the turkeys that voted for Brexit possibly fxxked up the ni dairy industry as we most certainly haven't the manufacturing capacity. Any insight
While the short term outlook is a slight unknown, longer term we will be stronger. Does anybody actually still believe that we aren't going to be able to achieve trade with the euro zone?! Even if that did happen milk prices will strengthen as Britain as a whole is only 80% self sufficient in dairy products and if they put import tax on our products it's more than likely incoming EU milk products would have a similar duty.
In the long term we are most definitely better off out, dont believe the left wing liberals!

Just a little heads up to anyone in the north Antrim/coast area.

Be wary of a white pickup with southern number plate two men in front child in back seat. Saying they are selling feeding troughs or buying old batteries or copper.
They seem to be doing a lot of snooping. Wouldn't give me their names when they called.

A neighbour had something taken from yard this week maybe it's a coincidence!

This is a polite way of saying pikey alert!

If our exports are tariffed(unlikely) then the incoming product from EU will face a similar tariff to stabilise it, this will lead to either no effect price wise or a slight rise to suppliers prices.
We can already handle capacity for milk in Britain as a whole that is produced here and LP trades quite substantially outside of EU already anyway with west Africa

Watching a little bit of the White House. press conference with PM this evening. Both leaders making all the right noises re trade and partnership.

If the liberal left media would quit running everything down and allow the country to get on with it we'd be grand! Apparently there was something about positive economic growth since the Brexit vote, but the BBC quickly watered it down and turned it into a future negative, talk about meeting trouble half way!
 
With these tariffs. Who gets the money from them now? Say some nz lamb comes in at the moment and has say 10% tariff does the money go to Europe/uk/NI? And who pays it the person that sends it or the person that recieved it?
