Ask delaval and Tipp Man.;)

You're gonna start a row if you keep posting things like that.:eek:

I promise no row, unless you want one!!!

My view is that we achieved what I've wanted and that was to seperate milk processing from the PLC

Oh yea, it's GII

He borrowed for more land in 79 and true to type come hell or high water when interest rates rose the banks pulled the double barrell. He resisted and paid his way but it was a shocking time the eighties

Good now we are calling it what it is , a less bland answer to the second half given former Glanbia suppliers I talk to (some on the odd committee) mumble that it wouldn't have gone through without that share thingy if you know what I mean ?

No row just teasing it out.

I don't want a row either de. IMO we haven't got seperation, we are stuck in a limbo land where we have all of the costs and difficulties associated with milk assembly and primary processing but have locked all/most of our high value output into contracts with one customer. GII has it's hand in the dogs mouth as much as any dairy farmer.

Agreed, the less enlightened would not have even read the post let alone voted had the money not been on the table.

GIIL manufacturing milk price for July has been retained at 37.5cpl

They're great. :roll:
Particularly when it has been hard to keep constituents up due to poor grass quality and growth.

whelan1 · 26-07-2013 6:47pm

why did they give the price so early this month?

Dunno. Thought it was odd myself.
They normally have their board meeting sometime on the first week of the month.

whelan1 · 28-07-2013 5:50pm

a bit late but anyhow,

Dairygold June base 37.5c/l
Price obtained (incl. vat) 40.741 @ 3.55p and 3.78f , 40/60 split calving, avg 23l per cow for the month

No indications on july price yet, Difference of 5.5 cent between top and bottom 10% of supplier prices for june, just shows high or low yielding have to keep on the solids

Neighbour bought a farm and had a sale agreed on the old farm. Then the credit crisis hit and he was left with two farms and massive debt. Nearly broke him but held on and sold the first farm to a german 3 years later. 10 years after that he bought the farm back off the german guy
