Will they be likely to change in the future though? I put 100000 gallon on heavy before the weekend and you wouldn't even know you'd been in the field today. It's madness....

It’ll not change, or if it does it’ll be a longer closed period!

Our waterways aren’t improving so more restrictions will be the only solution that those in charge can come up with

You going ? Any pics would be good

Don’t think I’ll get to it. Lot of bad stories about gea and robots on this forum- brave man to put them in!

How many are on winter bonuses atm. Are winter bonuses paid on top of a fixed price scheme. At the beginning I wished I hadn't signed one {fps} but unfortunately this time I was right

 

[yin ewe]

As far as I know DF winter bonus is not paid on fixed litres. We are worse off at the moment, but who knows what will happen in the next 2 years.

Dale Farm 2p winter bonus is for October, November and December supplies. It is not paid on the volume contracted on the DF fixed price scheme this is 27p +/- normal quality adjustments only. A new scheme is expected to be launched at the AGM on the 31st October, the details are being kept confidential until then.

27p too low. Especially if it's 36 months. Better to ride the market. We've 10% tied in. Hardly notice and diff. Aurivo pay the 2 separately so it hard to actually know just how much you are up in money to date

I think 27p is too low especially when you don't get any winter bonus. As for the next version it needs to be more, if it's not then I'm not sure how much interest there'd be in it.

Our fps was 29p. If no bonus thats 27 next month. I know farmers signed at 23p.....What were they thinking

 

[thunderballs]

The way current markets are 27 is a good price. Forward prices for the spring look poor. Time yet for markets to change, fingers crossed.

 

[lazy farmer]

If 27p is a base price on a solids based contract then I would be seriously considering it. Next yr could be a car crash

 

[Aircooled]

No point talking the price down. Feed,fert and fuel well up. Diesel now 66p/lt. These costs should have been fixed last year too!

 

[thunderballs]

Not talking it down just telling the way it is.

 

[Aircooled]

27p ok along with a big sfp and a windmill or three!
