Milwaukee is the latest must have battery tools now though

Battery operated grinder is a lot safer working in wet dirty conditions around cows feet as opposed to mains electric.But as already said need a couple of good batteries is also v handy for a multitude of other uses around a farm instead of rolling out a cable Milwaukee De Walt Metabo or any of the well known brands are v good and usually can be bought naked ( without batteries or charger) depending on ur brand

I know a couple of years ago Milwaukee was doing a bag full of cordless tools for very humble money, a few of the roofers I worked with got them and were very impressed.

I live with the shotgun in hand

Yes have an impact gun and cordless hammer drill from Milwaukee, good job, decent battery life thus far.

" Due to the increased cost of ammunition a warning shot can no longer be supplied "

And why the increased cost,consequence of brexit.
So much for the dry week forecast last week

So Lakeland producers seem to have received a farmer survey in the post. It's a good opportunity to put pen to paper with regards to Red tractor and voice your opinion.

“In Northern Ireland, Aurivo has increased the price of January milk by 0.5p to 27p/L.”

A payment of a 0.75p bonus for all milk supplied in January, February and March 2020, will also be made, the co-op confirmed.

Aurivo announces January milk price rise and bonus - Agriland.ie

Aurivo has become the latest processor to reveal its milk price for last month, announcing a price increase for January milk - and a bonus.

Certainly is a new form of confusing a milk price by paying a bonus on milk produced over 12 months ago. No point upping the meal tomorrow or maybe I should,who knows,I might,all depends on next years back dated bonus,confused or what

 

[daveydiesel1]

If theyd just give us 30p all year on a fixed contract it would be better instead of bonus this and that. Keep danglin the carrot and the odd time we get a wee nibble just enough to keep us at it

So it took them a year to figure out your milk is actually worth more than they paid?! How do we know that the price we're getting now is a true reflection of what it's actually worth? Clue - they're paying us less than they're getting - shocked!

Are you a shareholder in Lakeland?

No.

 

[The Agrarian]

No.

Then I think that question of a 'true reflection of what it's worth' is one that can really only be asked by shareholders. The Coop has no such obligation to its suppliers, who ultimately are contracted for the benefit of the shareholders.

The coop has an obligation to its supplier to pay the best price or theres no coop

Not really. It only has to pay the minimum suppliers will accept rather than walk. There is no incentive to overpay suppliers for this milk. It's there to generate margin from.
