superlevy

Text from Glanbia.
Country over by 1.5%

Glanbia's quota is full already by 56 million litres.

Theres very little flexi milk,so if your co-op is over and you are over,brace yourselves for a bill and in a lot of cases hefty milk cheque deductions over the coming months.

I doubt the banks the state they are in will be happy to loan.

case 5150

mattthetrasher

will be interesting to see what glanbia actually do, they want the farmer on their side if they are going to do anything with the co-op, interesting times ahead me thinks

Well I can tell ya,I was at a milk meeting the other night in Gorey and that's exactly what they are doing-drop of 22c a gallon between now and may.
Oh and those fixed price contracts are a joke.
Yah get 20% of your milk into them and the ever so clever glan bia in cahoots with the multiples will pay for that by dropping the other.
I've been farming 48 years and nothings ever changed,we're always being hoodwinked.

The corporate shareholders will be happy.

We need a proper co-op.

whelan1

or take control of the plc

milkprofit

Them ould LMP guys new what they were doing alright keeping quota separate

We need some one like them with the -alls to stand up to the PLc
The plc are going to sink the co -op with debt
Go talk to Your board member Tell him to support the co-op shareholder or you will sack him at the next vote
R ember you are responsible for your board member you put him there

While i am at it
Coveney is supposed to be minster for ag
Now he is spending all his time on this treaty to the determent of all of us

Cant see what difference this makes to milk price. Just do a small bit of research as to why milk price has to fall, along with a falling beef prices and rising grain price

Do you think the Minister of Ag makes that much of a difference??

High prices always cures high prices by causing overproduction

milkprofit

No Bob i am not that stupid
Coveney is a very good minister of ag he is one of the brighter sparks How can he look after our business in Brussels and els where when he is pre occupied with the referendum

I heard of a farmer that got a super levy bill for 80k.

Tipp Man

how the hell are ye all getting flexi??

We got f##k all of it and a nice little levy to boot

The distribution of flexi is an absolute joke

a few years back when there was a merger a vote was passed to keep the premier pool together

kevthegaff

I was talking to my milkman, he said supplys were up on last year already, well lads with the recent rainfall id expect the likes of connaught to be under, but arrabawn were over last month so that doesnt look good

whelan1

just got text glanbia to hold june manufacturing price at 28.5cpl, despite ongoing low market returns:cool:

lakill Farm

i dont milk , but was talking to the lorry driver who collects for the uncle last week (Lakeland) and he said milk collections were down in the last 3 weeks and a lot of cows in at night and pits open.

Min

Not superlevy but about when quotas go and for Glanbia it seems 2 cents per litre will be charged for milk that is above current quota, to help pay for a new milk processing facility down in Belview, south Kilkenny.
This 2 cents per litre charge over existing quota will last for 5 years.

kevthegaff

I agree with the 2c charge, maybe 1c for young farmers may make sense too. Just read the journal country over by 2 percent which is hard to believe

fortune favours the brave
got about 50000gals of quota for 2015 free under the new scheme

had the area manager in with me today and he said it was the average of 3 previous years, or quota, but he wasnt sure of the exact years to be used.

each additional litre of milk would cost 2c/year for 5 years, and they would then drip feed this amount back to us over a longer period.
havent had a chance to study up on it so only going on what i heard

kevthegaff

well lads how do yee think its gona go, i reckon some co ops will be over, the country will be probably under quota tho. Mees hoping

Timmaay

Over again me thinks for sure, and will be for the next 2years!

What's the story with flexi milk, I have 50k gallon quota, how much flexi should I get. Looks like I'm gona be full in August :-((

Injuryprone

There are few things helping the quota situation
1. Bad weather
2. Outlook for a higher ration price
3. Lower milk price
The highest flexi I heard this year was 4.5k gallons, but I suppose it'll vary depending on who you're supplying.
One thing is for certain, if we go over this year, we'll never be under quota again.
