    Does anybody know where i could get historical milk prices for ireland for the past few years?
    I want to look at average farm costs over the past number of years and seeing if they are rising much. Need to get that info from somewhere too!

    Its all for a project to reduce energy costs associated with dairying.

    Thats great thanks John F. I've read some of those reports from john Upton. I've a couple of ideas on tackling milk cooling. It's amazing that nearly 70% of electricity costs go to milk cooling and water heating. Think there's lots of scoope there. Doing thisas part of a part time MSc.

    We used to have a heat recovery unit made by packo. The waste heat from the compressor heated water to about 60 C. I think a lot of shops are doing something similiar with the heat from fridges going to heat water and perhaps even the oven for the deli counter.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
