Does that mean solids on average only added 2.13cpl ? That seems low or there must be a lot of suppliers below the base price solids requirements which also seems wierd with such good quality grass around

Mortelaro. I thought you requested people not to post only the base price.

The Feb base milk price is 31c/l incl VAT. Based on average Feb solids the milk price return inclusive of vat and bonuses is 35.56 c/l.

A previous post below by you Mortelaro

That's usually a typical processor narrative designed to deflect attention from price reductions

Solids have nothing to do with Glanbia
They are the result of the farmers hard work and expertise and would be there anyway and paid for accordingly

Base price drops take money out of the suppliers pocket
You could be getting 10c a litre extra for super solids and a base price drop still takes money away
So please don't mention solids again in the context of price drops,they're irrelevant

I asked a question
I don't see how my comments on processors not having the right to be boasting about plus solids prices in the way that they do has anything to do with that

I'm even puzzled, by the way as to how you extrapolated my previous (and very valid) comments in the way that you did
I certainly am not asking in what you quoted for posters to only post base price
That would be pointless
Posting plus solids returns is helpful to everyone as a comparison
That's the farmers success not the processor is all that I had said in the quoted post

Talking out two sides of your mouth now

liosnagceann75

The April base milk price is 30.5c/l incl VAT. Based on average April solids the milk price return inclusive of vat and bonuses is 32.63 c/l.

Above is a message from Kerry Co op. Down. 5 cent for April's milk

Explain clearly please what you mean there and what it is you are upset about or what it is you disagree with

You've not done that
All you've done so far is quote a post of mine and say its saying something completely different to what its blatantly obviously saying

All I did today was ask Buford did the average price in his post mean on average solids bonus across all Kerry suppliers amount to just 2.3c

Nowhere in the post you quoted did I ask any poster here not to post their price Inc solids
The post you quoted (for the 2nd time) gives out about the processor quoting the plus solids price(and the vat btw) as something they are responsible for
They are not

Yeah, across the whole of the catchment, extra solids added 2.13c/l. And that's the average, there must be lots of lads getting less than 30c/l this month...

At a meeting Tuesday night, a senior Kerry manager stated that Kerry's target this year was to stay above 30c/l.

Which is very encouraging:rolleyes:

You get a bonus for milk recording herd health screening, 0.15 and quality bonus incl bord bia 0.5 added after solids adjustment. The bonus for the milk recording and the herd health screening doesn't cover the cost of doing it.

Did anyone ask was there a target for his salary?
After all if they're claiming they can't deliver world prices,why should their pay stay the same or worse rise?

Milk and farming in general in Ireland at the 'Co-OP' (and I use that term very loosely) processing end is dystopian for its lack of fairness,transparency or it seems good decisions towards its suppliers who do the lions share of the work

We’re on 37cpl + vat now.

I’m thinking ye lads need a lash of duck shyte...
FFS that’s an insult.


All prices must be quoted without vat and at base price. Solids and other bonuses are your own personal business and shouldn’t be used by Coops or others to muddy the facts.

See bulk tank maintenance fee is increased now on glanbia accounts. Was 280 per month over 2 months. It's 341 per month now over 2 months. Now I know I for one get excellent value for this amount but just wondering what the rise is based on.

The price is based on "they can"...

Who is going to kick up? Who will stop paying? Who will change provider?

I'd say mine is 3 or 4 times that. It's probably me that's causing the rise for everyone else

If your tank packs in on a hot summers day during milking have you someone that will fix it and call out within a hour our two no questions asked, pay a private company here for a service contract and basically see it as insurance if the above scenario happens they will be out to fix it and save having to dump a tank of milk

Private contractor who recently started billing through glanbia. No service contract but very good service. They do a lot more than bulk tanks. Refrigeration business is on call. Not just bulk tanks that blow in hot weather.

Wouldn't be without the insurance either
It's small beer for the peace of mind
I pay public and employers liability too and wouldn't stop paying it despite no claims in nearly 40 year (touch wood)
Public liability covers accidental anti biotic contamination too btw

Thankfully I do have a very reliable chap.

Cancelled that maintance contract yrs ago.lad from midlands was supposed to call once a year to service the tank.never called.have a lad now that's only a call away if needed.he asked for a contract when he went on his own,I refused to sign up on the understanding that if I needed him he would be paid going out the yard.

Mortelaro

To be fair,servicing the tank annually is covered under the contract and should be done and including call out etc probably costs about half the insurance
So it's really only or should only be 2 or 300 a year in costs not 4 or 500
So buttons really
