You're welcome Mahoney!

Seeing that this thread is now depressing...

All is not lost. Super Mario announced yesterday that QE by the ECB will continue into '16 and the euro fell in value. That helps.
Now, we need the U.S. NFP on nov 6 to be as dismal as the milk price thread and the Fed to commence QE again as the pressure will be back on the $. If that happens we could see another bull run on commodities. Here's hoping.

why are lads so worried about breaking the MSA? Do you think a squad car is going to pull up outside the milking parlour some morning and cart lads off tho the joy ffs?

I think the problem is that all the co-ops have recently agreed (for our own convenience, protection, and safety presumably) to enforce each others MSA by not taking on new suppliers if they haven't been released by the old owner, sorry, co-op.

Add your reply here.

I wish I could link to that Bill Hicks vid, the "shh it's all ok your government is in control, don't worry about it, the Simpsons will be on in a minute, shh". ........ one.

Essentially glanbia is a plc not a coop so profit of the plc is now no 1 not that of its suppliers as it's the plc's shareholders interests regardless of being a farmer or not is key. Hence the reason 15 profits have to match 14 for the plc. Unless the plc can pull in more elsewhere to cover the difference it won't and may not anyway support the coop.
I'd suggest having a plc and coop co existing is not a good mix as they would be pulling against each other. Initially farmers may benefit from shareholdings etc and value increasing but as time moves on the plc will look to remove itself from the low margin processing end of business up the line to higher margin side of business. I think the sheriff mentioned kerry possibly looking to remove itself from that end.
Perhaps a merger of processors isn't what's needed but a merger of coops with just farmers interests at its core. I dunno would it work and this is all talk, and uneducated talk at that from myself but that's the way it's going. Unless the coop cam keep going farmer owned ala carbery there will always be a conflict of interest

The PLC route that has been taken by Glanbia and Kerry can only end in one way, the complete dispersal of the shares held by the co-op back to their members. That was certain from day 1 and Glanbia suppliers might as well accept that fact now rather than later.

Just one proviso, make sure you keep a good chunk of the value of those spun out shares because you will need them again in the future to buy back the processing facilities.

Lot of guys moved to glsnbia/dairygold last year around this area, i personally didnt agree with thr plc structure and didnt want to invest in more shares! I said it to a few of these guys and got the "jim bergin reaction". Hearing some rumbles lately from these expats- strict testing, price, share up. Your local co op which isnt perfect, has less levels for the money to trickle down to us mere suppliers

Nail on the head there, kev.

They really pissed people off with that last cut. It might have been foolish on their part.

Is that arrogance bergin has. I thought he was making those faces because of indejestion.

14.5 is cent per kg. For grain maize . Which is about 1.05 ufl. Or rocket fuel in lay mans terms.

Totally agree Milkprofit. But there are three different enterprises here, so how would I allocate the wage cost?

If I include 6 wages including my own (and not including OH and lady in the office) my CoP is 42cpl...but that's a pointless figure.

Id say u are well able to allocate the labor to each enterprise but i wouldn't let the ohknow u not going to include her

milkprofit · 23-10-2015 04:57PM

Assessing your future in glanbia surely lies in studying the agreement between Giil and glanbia......does Giil sell all its product to glanbia or is it allowed to have its own routes to market. If it has its own routes to market maybe you are in no worse position than if you were with any other coop. If all product goes through glanbia, then you are for sure on a hiding to nothing.
,
This was mostly tied up at the time with contracts, which some lasted at least 10 years

whelan2 · 23-10-2015 08:12PM

Are there any other meetings planned?

jack o shea · 23-10-2015 09:35PM

Anyone else thinking of going OAD milking when the hour changes? Finding it hard to think of milking and it dark and cold at half 5 next week and pricks like that bergin lad laughing at us, with the ridiculous price glanbia are paying us we may as well be in at the fire with the feet up and go broke as be out in the ****e and still end up broke.

cute geoge · 23-10-2015 09:44PM

You need you cell count below 200 to consider going once a day from now on, otherwise your cell count will go over 400 quickly

Gotta lazy here, don't start till 8.20, and finished up as close to 6pm as I can. 9 fresh calvers in the mix, who are surely losing several litres a day as a result, but I can live with that.
