Northern Ireland Milk Price Tracker

We should expect a sharp rise for March milk then as costs got a fair rise in March.

Costs have been rising sharply since about July last year. European gas price is a big driver.

I have a field that needs reseeded. I was thinking of doing whole crop and under sowing it.
I'm a whole crop virgin.
Going to kill off the field tomorrow. Graze it end of week. Disc it next week. Broadcast barley. Harrow in. Broadcast grass seed. Roll.
How much barley per acre to not choke the grass seed?
If the weather breaks, how late can you sow whole crop to have it cutting with 2nd cut?
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Exact same here willy, sprayed off on Saturday. Was told end of the month at the latest. Was also told that it needs the plough not min til.

Why the plough?

Why the plough?

Something about a deeper seed bed for barley.

Something about a deeper seed bed for barley.

The plough also opens up the land and burys the trash which leaves a nicer seedbed

And a deeper seedbed for stones, if you have any.

That would be about 4p, if we get that I might just be able to double my fertiliser purchases and get another ton.

5ppl is wishful thinking
On the wholecrop we sow our oats at 9stone when we are under sowing usually sometimes maybe bit less but round that

You laughed at me @Conrod96

Buy another 2 ton, otherwise you'll be wrecked with tax!

Don't think I can stretch that far as I need some red diesel as well

When they work out the avg farm price does it take into account the fixed price deal?
