just had to laugh when I was scrolling through agriland. I see an article on The Eu needing to reduce milk output and scroll down another bit and there's some lad doubling his cow numbers and all is rosey in the garden. some sh1te.

And given the current circumstances with weather and fodder shortages,if the weather takes off as sure as nite follows day farmers will have memories like a sieve and lessons will not be learned.temporary blip till next time

The meal and silage bills coming in the post will be a good reminder, that combined with the lost litres of where a cow should of peaked in a year like 2017 compared to 2018 will leave current accounts looking fairly threadbear, lads can have all the notions in the world but if they haven't got the money to fund it, it will naturally pull them back numberswise

Any idea on March price?

April 31+ vat.
May 31+ vat.
June 32+ vat.

Base price @3.2pr and 3.8bf.

We could live with that.

I'd reckon 2 cent cut by glanbia but a cookie jar top-up due to the weather to keep price at "32 cent"

Is it true that after they announced the €50 back per tonne of meal they upped the meal price by €30/tonne?

When i see this questioning of Zuckerberg, i can't help but think of a particular teagasc official, who tries to create relevance by sharing your profit monitor data..

Lakelands have announced their price dropping by 2.5c I think and paying a hardship bonus of the same amount. Can't link as on my phone

Saw that, that carry on is a load of bollix tbh. Leave the price as it is and don't mind the hardship bonus bull****

They are lining up the drop for next month when cows will be out and milk pumping. And there might not as much giving out about it.

We hope cows will be out and milk will be pumping

Yeah prices where put up by 30 euro last Monday, Their 30-40 euro dearer to start off with compared to independent merchants, I guess with lads under pressure financially glanbia are all they have to turn to for feed

All feed has risen in price with all merchants in this area.

Regarding your point about people under financial strain turning to Glanbia for feed. Could you please explain this logic? Are they unable to get credit elsewhere and have Glanbia as a safe port only to leave when they build a bill and join the chorus singing about the fookers they are?

No price rise here held at price agreed in January, it would be easier to get out of paying revenue then leaving glanbia swinging for money, glanbia through the trade/milk account will finance a milk supplier a significant bit more then a independent merchant given their guaranteed payment, bit naive to think certain lads haven't exhausted all other suppliers and are now left with glanbia and using the milk account to keep feed coming into the yard

coops are an easy target, I hear the same about Aurivo being dear for feed but when I price independent merchants (like for like products) there is never anything in it.
there are so many millers now that their prices are very close, I am not in a very intensive farming area and I could get 8 feed companies to blow meal into the bin.

Most farmers have a crazy credit limit with glanbia. No other merchant that I deal with would allow a bill to run to that level.

It used to give the plc finance people nightmares. 😂😂

I am I reading the glanbia text right, we are now 30 cent base and 3 cent makey up payment?

Yip.

These "hardship"payments added after solids adjustment I assume?

If you have milk fixed at 31 and 32 will you get 3 cent on top of this
