Potential happy thought!

Oil price has collapsed since late last year.
When it comes time to make silage this year plastic should be cheaper and contractor costs which are heavily fuel dependent should be cheaper.

Unfortunatley the euro is dropping in value so you might not see too much of a price drop in plastic, but here's hoping your right

Euro value down = milk price up 😄

Milk quoatas are going and it's going to put a fire under everything. Ireland can at last reach it's full potential in milk output, suckler cow numbers will fall and the place will be full of cheap dairy cross calves.

Got sick of that by 17 years old, frightfully nice to begin with then sickening to death. Can still strongly recall the taste 4 years without a sip. Sleepy drunk feeling accompanies it too
