    It's interesting.i know Lakeland in Bailieborough are planning huge investment over the next two years.

    Problem is though, suppliers are already upping production and there will be a lag in processing capacity coming on line.

    One southern processor has set the ball rolling already with rumours of a substantial price reduction for May milk 4/5cl being mentioned.

    The irish producers don't seem to be worried about capacity, just the market price.
    Obviously the english dairys didn't believe that milk production was going to jump when quotas went(which giving the that quota in england was never a problem you'd wonder). What is worrying is the fact that the solution is going to take years

    Do people honestly think 39 or 40 cent a litre is sustainable

    Long term def no,41 cent was there though over last few months but no coop had the balls to go over 40.price is going to drop sooner rather than later though.id still predict an average price forcthisxtear of 35 cent .bext year who knows

    Not sure really..
    They reopened Lough Eigish too and I know that wasn't on the plans as it had just been closed a short few years previous..

    Extra processing capacity in B'boro is one thing but the milk intake willl need serious work as during peak milk trucks are slow getting through and they often have tanks of milk lying round in shunter tanks for hours waiting to be taken in..

    They are also shunting tanks of processed water from the evaporator over to Lough Eigish as they don't have great capacity do dispose of it in B'boro, what will it be like with increased capacity..

    Farmers are a strange bunch.
    Always talking down the price of milk as if it's an inevitability.
    It is an inevitability unfortunately when that's the mindset amongst co op shareholders suppliers.

    The leading milk price outfit,Milk prices are at the top of a three year cycle so any reduction will be passed on immediatly and in full.
    There are reports of buyers already standing back from markets in antisipation of the flood in 15.
