Others will buffer too hard for too long end up topping in early May or locking up too much silage. They WILL run short and have to resort to grazing 2000+ covers depressing solids. Then blame the bastards in the coop for the low price. It's in our own hands measure and plan I see my neighbour has zgrazed a paddock beside yard yet hasn't 1 other acre grazed, the mind boggles

Dawggone wrote: » No Lactalis here thank God. They are fairly big players up north. Wouldn't be good to pay and farmers have very little control, if any. My crowd would always be 1-2cpl ahead.
Dawggone wrote: » Those are guaranteed base prices on an open ticket. That price is net of a deduction of 1cpl for Mar/Apr/May. The "fund" will be divided out per litres delivered in July/Aug/Sept. I got back just over 2cpl from that fund last year... What are Irish processors paying Atm? Spoke with a neighbour this morning and the raising of the BF base is a deal done a few years back...I think it had something to do with BF quota, but I can't be sure because his accent is so thick you could stand a fork on it!
