Northern Ireland Milk Price Tracker

[Stuart1]

@Stuart1 , I’m nearly sure it was you who asked what was the best wellies? Home tonight with a wet foot. Bekinas are damn comfortable but aren’t lasting. What did you end up buying?

I’ve tried a few pair lately. Best lasting pair so far have been Noramax, don’t think they where reasonably expensive either compared to some others that don’t last. They’re comfortable too, but after a while the sole became hard so I bought a pair of new insoles in fane valley and they’re like new!

Queues at shops and towns and cities rammed for the next week before the next lockdown. Anybody spot a flaw in the smartie professor and politicians big plans ?

Yep. Was in Ballymena for a takeaway Sunday lunch, and the retail park was full, and slight queue out onto the dual carriageway. Shops everywhere are sure to be absolutely bonkers this week. And coffee shops. First time I saw the local hairdresser open on a Sunday too.

Can't help but think the effect might be to bring forward the infections that they were aiming to avoid in the following two week period. Maybe that's actually the plan...

Anyone applied for the grant yet? Looking at getting cow mattresses but just wanted a few opinions on which people think are the best?

Cow comfort or labour saving. All the rest are a waste of money

Do you not think the list of items on the grant are a waste of time, I think unless your item is in band one you will have no chance?

So basically just slurry equipment.

That says all we need to know about direction government will be going policy wise in future

Maybe always worth a try, got a cattle trailer and meal bin last time and don't think they were high bands, but maybe the under 40 age swung it my way.

I’m told there is a similar grant to happen again in the spring

According to the BDG Advisor either 83 or 89 points is enough to meet the threshold.

 

[surprisefarmer]

Maybe I am just being pessimistic about only band 1 being any good.

I do not have a farming qualification but sure it is only worth 5 points?

I'd swap my qualification point for being able to qualify for the young farmer points any day and I'll throw in a 20 acre field into the deal too

 

[surprisefarmer]

Sure are they not both worth 5 points, or is it your wider lifestyle situation you are looking to change?
