That's before they take out money for shares 4000 needed for every 100k litres

I notice 3 Dairygold faces on the Ornua board. At least not everyone in Dairygold is not doing so badly.

Most people who bought feed and fertilizer from dairygold over the years have no problem with shares as they were given for every certain amount purchased. People who didn't buy off them or young farmers are in trouble but the majority are fine. So the shares side of it aren't the big problem milk price is....

Other Co ops don't require as much shares.by a long shot and also don't seem to have a problem with people redeeming them when they are intitled to do so. but you are correct milk price is the big issue. People who moved to Dairygold and now have to buy shares must be kicking themselves now.

When French farmers were protesting people on here were discussed a their behaviour. We have become very soft.

Remember when Fr Ted and Doggle were protesting about that film.
"Down with that sort of thing" Will probably be the extent of our protest.

Just in the last couple of days there has been an announcement about how nine people walked away with a cool 9m at the same time as farmers are facing a very worrying year to say the least. The trouble is the people who should be leading the protests are all sitting on boards with those 9 geniuses and doing well out of it also..You couldn't make it up if you tried.

There were plenty protests in 09 including tractors and several hundred outside a Glanbia board meeting in Enniscorthy
I suspect GiiL protests will resume shortly once everyone's spin out money has run out which can't be long

Just to correct you, share purchase, as with the revolving fund, hasn't been coming out of the milk cheque for nearly a year now.

My apologies I wasn't aware they had put it on the long finger. Maybe that might go some way in explaining the delay in balancing the books and publishing the accounts. Yes I checked, you are correct.The revolving fund has been postponed and the share up has been made optional on the basis that when milk price recovers an increased amount per litre will have to be paid to make up the shortfall. Something to look forward to I guess.

Like Mr ed I'd be very surprised if there was protest.....no appetite for protest anymore and even those that do go are saying why bother when most farmers are staying at home.
Does even 1% of farmers attend protests now

Milked out

US production up 1.8% in march over last year. Low grain prices driving em on. Bad to be saying it but a serious drought would be needed to knock them back a bit this year

Older generation here used to always give out about high meal price until someone pointed out that high grain price was the only thing keeping our competitors at bay.

Did you fix any milk to the 30c scheme Brown?.

1% hardly turn up at Coop AGM's, where their voice has to be heard, whether top table likes it or not.
