Handouts for dairy farmers.

Dawggone

Are dairy farmers favored over all others?

Is it fair that the supposedly most profitable enterprise gets a handout for Xmas, when other farmers are genuinely struggling and get nothing??

Definitely the most favoured by the powers in control. The Xmas handout was a joke but if it's on offer you'd take it.
Just a jealous beef farmer

I suppose beef prices didn't fall by 40 % in a year though

It dropped from a record high though. And at current prices, dairy farmers are still making money

Dairy farmers work the hardest so they should be rewarded the most. Everybody else are lazy feckers, so they should get nothing.

Are you talking about 17m taken from BDGP and given to dairy sector?

Why didn't the ppl who applied for the BDGP simply not get their payments topped up?

There are a few expenses with the scheme, if it had been over subscribed we wouldn't be long seeing a cut, same way as reps was cut when all the dairy farmers with nitrates derrogation joined in 2009.

Rant over.

Luckily I started dairying this year just in time for my Christmas bonus Not many making money from beef and many have a job as well.

Not all dairy farmers get the handout!

Only those who are part of the global supply chain get it. The rest of us have to fend for ourselves, perhaps our milk isn't milky enough.

You'll have to wait until next year I'm afraid - not producing commercially yet, still experimenting & deciding what we are going to produce particularly for the export market.

But I'll be relying on this forum for a body of strong stomached testers. The pigs can only eat so much of the stuff.....

What dairy farmers won't be getting payment?

F&F is definitely run by the dairy men!
Ah Lads!

Oh there is a potentially disastrous alternative if people are complacent enough to allow it to happen
Imagine Wallace minister for justice, Claire Daley in Finance and Paul Murphy in the dept of Agriculture

We wouldn't be worrying about payments then

It's actually a really good question. What put us in a position that we are the pets?

As far as I can see the other sectors are in bother with shyte prices and I include veg, pigs and poultry in this.

Where is this money being magicked from?

How much are we getting?

Lol!
I'm only an outsider looking in. I can never be allowed into the dairy mafia because I have a diet feeder! I suppose that's why I got no Xmas bonus like you guys.

(What's the root of all money?)


Traders turned cheesemakers tend to be more philosophical and idealistic.
Didn't Rand say that pointing out the very obvious is almost impossible to explain to those who don't wish to see?

Just like this thread.



Edit. Ye will be glad to hear that I got caught doing 157kph on the way home by an unmarked cop car. I'd say that they would have seized the jeep if there wasn't a horse in the box.
Karma?

I wouldn't be used to horse boxes but cattle boxes and builders trailers seem to start getting giddy around the 100-120 kph.

The money is coming from the shortfall in the BDGP aimed at suckler farmers but made worthless because of ridiculously onerous conditions and leaving a 17 m surplus.
Better to just hand it to dairy farmers!

Yes, relentless lobbying on behalf of Irish dairy farmers.
Must be worth €200/300k p.a.
I presume yeez will pay me on receipt of the handout (before you give it to charity!)
