    Tim could you feed the winter milkers all maize if you have plenty.

    Then just distillers pellets in the palour and a shake of minerals on the maize.

    Theyll have there tits pricked out with milk .

    I've heard that you shouldn't push maize above 50% of their diet, ie 2 grabs of silage for each grab of maize, which is what I've doing. But anyways no no no defo don't need them bursting with milk this winter ha, will be about 20kl over anyways not to mind going any more. I'll happily hold over the maize until next winter and have alot less or none grown for me next year, it's far from the cheapest crop, I was lacking alternatives last year.

    no its a solids base payment plus bonus
    if milk price drops it drops

    same as a manufacture payment plus bonus

    Stan for once I can say I beat ya at something :P. But nay anyways, Premier winter bonus, I'm looking back to last years milk statements. Last Oct we supplied 14k litres of surplus milk, which we got a premier winter bonus of 4.97 cent on (same bonus as the milk cheque today). Last Nov we got a bonus of 8.13 cent on 15kl of surplus milk. Dec it was 6.98c on 16.5kL. Jan our luck ran out ha, only 1/2c bonus on a surplus of 9kL, making them 9kLs of extra milk a total waste of time. Can you explain what way the Premier winter bonus works, are those c/l figures I posted above fixed each month (basically meaning I should never ever aim to produce one litre over my Jan liquid contract), or are they some sort of cumulative figure over the whole winter, Ie a sum of all the surplus milk I supplied from Oct-Jan, and I just went over it in Jan last yr?

    Worked it out today for every .1 you go over your base you lose 10 liters on the 1,000, so a x-bred lad in your scenario say averaging 4.85 for the year is losing 120 liters on the 1,000 so if he sends in 230,000 he is down over 27,000 liters....

    I know it's only a small % drop but it's still worrying it's going in the wrong direction. Anyone hear what Dairygold set Oct price at. Were due to finalise price today?

    Ha crazy! And guess whos funding shinagh? Carbery who are also paying them the 50c/l. Maybe they want to show farmers that the place is a success so there wont be a backlash from farmers to all the money that was invested in the place.

    Id be pretty sure no other farmer in west cork is being paid 50c/l where as the farm that was set up and funded by carbery is, what has that got to do with having well run co-ops? Coincidence maybe..

    Why couldn't they be getting 50 cent lads???.from what I gather herd is heavily x bred and big emphasis on grass.i know of at least one guy who cleared 60 cent for his milk last November of a 39.7 base.theybproably milked fook all but produced massive solids%

    Pure rubbish, being paid on the same basis as everyone else.once a day milking and they are now milking very small quantities so solids are through the roof .anyway why would carbery pay extra to a farm where the the profits are divided between the four coops so whos winning.thiss year they on course for 100k profit but next year the budget shows them breaking even on a milk price of 30 cent given they beat coops average by 2 cent all year so predicted average price is 28 cent
