    If only it was that easy lakeland won't touch glanbia suppliers even ones with no msa signed, nice gentleman's agreement between the two

    Only hope is when gentlemen fall out. Must say I've yet to meet a supplier who switched to Arrabawn who is not happy about having moved.

    Was talking to Glanbia rep here recently, he reckons Lakelands solids tests aren't as good as Glanbia's and any dual supplier would say Glanbia are better , can any one comment on that? Is it true?
    What difference does that make to base price, that's up to farmers themselves to improve on?

    No he was saying farmers supplying both glanbia and lakelands said that on the same day collection glanbia constituents are higher :confused: I know its up to the farmer to improve their solids. Why would the test results differ on same day collection?

    To be fair Id like to see testing being all done independently, but all things being equal. Of course Co Ops in areas that farmers can keep cows at grass for longer
    are always more likely to have higher solids.

    Ah i get ya know, Surely if that was the case the farmers would have raised the issue? Now if there were odd milkings for one collection and even for the other there may be differences but still

    Fair play is right. Around here Lakelands used to be known as the poor man's CO-op...
    I was just thinking about Lakelands, would the huge rise in spot prices in England have put pressure on them to up price to secure supply and stop it travelling to England for processing?

    This was after he asked me had I any interest in the milk flex scheme, I said I am keeping my options open by not signing up to anything. 10 years is too long to sign into an agreement imo

    Probably be a while before Dairygold follow suit although they have a good incentive to increase with the revolving fund currently suspended

    There was no malice in it. Rangler has been slightly reveling in his harbinger of disaster role lately.

    Broken hearted i am, 30 years profiteering and you only have to suffer for two years.........just ain't fair.
    I still reckon it's a dead cat bounce........that's a term my accountant used when my AIB shares dropped to 80c and gave a slight rise in 2008
    At least I took his advice and didn't buy them at 80c

    I think you're safe enough for the time being, this "rebound" will be a very lazy curve,

    Why oh why does this point scoring crap have to go on. Accept the rise and get on with it. Milk will rise monthly and the turn around will be quick. This is not a demand thing it's a cutback in supply.

    For the dooms dayers price will rise quickly and fall quickly and deeply so be prepared

    Milk at 25c/ltr is way better money maker than lamb at €5/kg or grain at €140/ton, so count your blessings

    Trouble is,you don't seem to differentiate between money maker and a fair days pay
    No point lauding the former when milk won't do the latter unless you're a processor manager who gets paid and bonused at the farmers expense even when products are selling poorly
