    Unfortunately for all farmers in all coops that contract will be elsewhere by the time to leave arrives. Processors scalping each other only serves to supermarkets as opposed to the farmers or coops. The Musgrave contract is up for renewal, just watch how cheap they will get their milk.

    This is exactly why I've changed my mind about buying liquid contract.

    May or may not be but we're currently putting money into kilconell plant to cater for more storage and efficiencies in plant ,liquid business is cut throat ,I like the fact we were able to undercut glanbia for Tesco and from our area meetings it's a side of our business that growth is seen to be in .saying that I don't see myself committing to winter milk ,milk to Christmas week and holidays to late janurary

    MJ, have enough guys taken up contracts to fill the Tesco contract?

    From lads offered new contracts and lads milking through with no contract ,yes .there is also an arrangement with another coop to take in milk to make up any shortfall if it arises.also from talking to lads in groups etc there appears to be a renewed appetite for winter milk ,can't fathom why because as you've outlined its volatile ,Tesco contract is yearly

    Similar is happening with the likes of Danone, glanbia and tipperary sending milk down to macroom as well previously was just dairygold

    Which really begs the question of whom this price cutting is serving.
    Farmers supplying with no contract
    Milk from other coop, which one? It can't be Arrivo as they've a significant contract to fill.

    I'd be very slow to invest in a business that is based on a 1 year contract and guaranteed to be whisked away next year and probably win back the following year.

    This carryon certainly isn't serving the farmer, that's for certain.

    One last question, is all the milk NDC marked?

    Dairygold Base is 30. The 0.5c is the standard quality bonus. They only started announcing that with the price in the last year to try and make it look better than it is. Was always there

    0.1 is for having the bord bia qa passed.
    The other 0.4 is based on a points system that takes in TBC, scc, thermoduric, sediment & lactose.

    On a 50 point scale. 20 points for scc under 200. The rest is then added for tbc, thd, sediment, etc. If you make between 45 and 50 for the month you get the 0.5c. It reduces then as points are lost
