    We paid short of 10% of superlevy in europe, yet we get 3% of direct aid. Sounds fair

    It was our overproduction caused the problem in the first place. :):)
    Ya they're dividing up the SL money based on each member states quota. I presume when the envelope lands in Ireland it will in turn be divided by each farmers quota.
    (When the cheques come, I must call into my neighbour, who hasn't filled his quota in the last 10 yrs and ask for some of my SL money back)

    A lad I know has 80 cows on straw for the winter ,a tidy farm yard and was told to put them on slats
    He gets no sfp as this is the fourth year he's refused afaik
    He'll get no aid if so and the multiples are making profits on his bit of milk just the same

    If they divide the all the money over the countries quota litres, you're looking at roughly
    0.0025€/L or 0.25c/L

    Be nice if that was 25c a litre but I presume its 0.25c/litre you mean or roughly a cent a gallon?
    Thats a €1000 per 100k gallons for those of us with old brains

    It puts the NZ price back to where they were in April or May, is that still below COP for them, I presume it is?

    I don't know, but positive news for them early on in the season while they still have time to change tack with regard to production could spur them on a bit. How is payment done over there? Normally it's a seasons price quoted not monthly isn't it? Do they get so much a month and then balance at end of season?

    For example milk supplier will predict the final season price at say $4 and then will open the season paying $2.80 and slowly rise it throughout the season all going well and then pay the final amount the following October. I think. Figures are just plucked out of the sky.

    Does that depend on quota or last years supply?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,433 ✭✭✭darragh_haven



    Whats not good is that they are trading lower volumes than the same week last year. The auction 2 weeks ago was only 60% of the previous year. .... so they are most likely stock piling product. And guess when it'll be put on the market - April, May and June

    But but but I thought it was only those sneaky European types that carried out underhand tactics like that:pac:

    Yeah, just looking at that while ago and had the same thought.

    Altho, I have been invited to the wedding of the daughter of one of the directors of fonterra. It's on in March in Wellington, so I'll have a word with her sort the whole lot out.

    No doubt Coveney will take the credit....

    Kev, I'm only guessing on that. The €420M is being divided amongst the member states based on their national quotas last year. It's up to Coveney how he divies out the €13M. But my guess is that he'll do it based on people's quota from last year not what they supplied.
    There'd be a a lot of giving out if it was done on supplied and not quota, I'd imagine.

    They'd need serious twine to stock pile that amount and still pay the supplier. And if it went tits up it would sink Fonterra. It would be a major gamble, especially after the interest free loans they're giving farmers. I'd say they're stock piling some, but selling a lot more outside Of the GDT. ???

    Fonterra don't stockpile as a rule...they have for a long time now boasted about the way they can make the purchasers do the storage of product. They have been running a system of auction designed to make the rest of the world suffer at their most vulnerable time of their seasons, in their bid to "burn off" the rest.it has just gone yoo far as they say be careful for what you wish for.
    I wojld feel they now need to manupilate the auction to give the appearance of scarcity of product and though they might not like it....they will help us all.
