you were at the meeting in drogheda- i was in navan, same meeting
there was a lot of resentment for a&b-c. personally as i expressed it was a great system for certain types of farms- four years ago i expressed at a meeting that one day all our milk would one day be paid like this and i was laughed at. we breed with solids in mind for the last ten years- as i pointed out that the price paid in april was on average only cents less than base price- personnaly we got paid 1.47 cent more for our surpless than for our liquid- i also pointed out that during the previous winter my surplus was worth nearly 10cent yes 10 cent more. inevitably this is the end of fmp which is a shame but we as farmers still have to stand up for ourselves- i for one wont sit back even if court orders must be obeyed

Hi All,
I came across this the other day and was wondering how does a liquid milk contract work, as in do you still need to have quota or how do you get your hand on a contract like this???
