There was one point that we all had different views on and seeing as its lunch time and I'm a lil bored I thought id share it and see how people feel. Does any one else think the national dairy council mark is an udder joke? My cousin works in a milk factory in the border counties he was telling us of northern ireland milk trucks coming to the factory and then going out to shops with the NDC logo on the bottles. Whats it all for any way? We supply a company that has factorys north and south so how does that work? people build borders for people, nature crosses all devides!

delaval wrote: » I hear guys saying that they'll go over as price in excess of 40c. They reason that they need cash to make up for last year. Dangerous game as levy is due to be paid next year when price WILL be lower. Processors deducting early are actually doing people a favour. Guys will try to pay out of cash flow next Spring and then find themselves hit with a lower price and a lack of working capital Proceed with caution

Ive never posted on boards before so im not sure how it works, I posted on the other thread because it was dairy farming related but realised it is a number of years old so I reposted on this because it is more active. I read threads very regulary but havnt figured out how to create a new one yet. How do you feel im having a pop at the dairy industry? I realy have no intention to offend but was just looking for some opinions from around the community.

So next year may well be better than farmers expect. However on one hand I will agree that we will have little impact on world wide prices it is the ability of processors to sell the extra volume that will dictate Irish prices. If product expands by 30% over 2 Years will these processors manage to handle and sell all this product at a decent price. As we know in beef there is a different between commodity price and product price. Look at Angus and Hereford scheme prices compared to commodity pricing at bottom of beef market. As we have seen from the Irish Beef market an excess of supply even during a world wide shortage allows predatory pricing by processor's and supermarkets.

Grain prices are going to be low in the important markets for the foreseeable future (2yr) and plenty of locking in going on at the moment so the big producers will just turn on the tap and produce huge volumes. Anyway sure what the F*** do I know about milking:)
