They they frighten every other processor into bringing out an msa as well ????.ive one signed with mine and absolutely no issue with it ,guaranteed I have an outlet for my milk

First of all comparing Arrabawns MSA to Glanbia or Dairygold is like comparing apple's and Orange's, as has already been alluded to. Secondly I don't think it was Strathroy who were trying to pouch Arrabawn suppliers. History will show that a couple of big CoOps having tied most of their own suppliers down with MSAs, then tried to take over a neighbouring Co Op that didn't have one. When the initial marriage proposal was rejected a fully blown campaign was put in place to steal suppliers from Arrabawn, possibly in the belief that Arrabawn would not be aware that not all suppliers to the two larger Co Ops had taken the bait and signed their MSAs. Don't think its fair to be blaming Strathroy for MSAs in all fairness.

While I am glad of the increase, do ye think it could have been more?

heard (hopefully true) that a further increase is possibly on the cards for June,

so much for the "predicitions" by co ops and Ornua 6 months ago,

Seeing at it would appear that butter is saving the day. Surely its time to adjust the a+b-c formula to reflect the current value of butterfat?

Steady on he just said they have become as bad as the rest. He didn't say they have become worse than the rest. But it is news that a farmer would classify them as as bad as the rest. OK so let's wait the see the dirty washing being hung out and see what it looks like?

Fred, you need to stop looking in the mirror as you type. Makes you post what your thinking.
So is Keepg not allowed to ask for gossip, you seem to be the man with all the gossip or fairy tales as required.

What are you talking about we are all waiting here with baited breath to hear why a farmer is not happy with Strathroy? Will be disappointing if things are as bad as the man has indicated but I agreed with KG. Please we all want to know why this man is unhappy. Don't know where you got the idea that I felt KG was not allowed ask the question. We are all asking the same question. People who are not even dairy farmers are asking the question? So it seams to me that a farmer unhappy with Strathroy would appear to be news?

Also I would be very grateful if you could elaborate for me exactly what I have posted on here at any point in time that was untrue? That's a pretty serious allegation calling someone a liar! As for fairy tale's I never recall telling you any? If it would make you feel better ask me nicely and maybe I might consider it. I know a really scary one about the big bad Woulfe.

Doesn't sound like it's inviting Keepgrowing into a discussion now does it Fred.
*********************************** You have used annonymity to post multiple topics of innuendo about your big bad woulfe's lot and ifa members too. If something doesn't agree with your narrative you get very upset.

We'll have less of the abuse. If you want to post that way, this forum isn't the place!

I 100% stand over everything I have ever said on here. So I suppose if if were innuendo as you say. Why was it not removed? Ask yourself that question before you go calling me a liar? I beginning to understand what Garda Jerry McCabe must feel like . Honestly there is no need to shoot the messenger. If I have said anything that is untrue. I'm sure the laws of the land apply to boards as they do everywhere else. So please inform the your alleged injured party. I would be more than delighted to have any disputed matters settled in public.

Sorry didn't see the mods note thanks will try.

Wrong McCabe. Maurice I guess you had in mind. Sadly, Jerry is not with us.

BTW, I see no problem in this Milk Price thread, holding all processors to account. If there's an issue. Put it out there. These are big boys and gals.
By being in touch with one another, from various parts of the country, you may be doing a job that the farm orgs are falling down badly, at.

Sorry wrong McCabe. Rip. But agree if there is an issue. Name it and shame it! Together we might be able to even spark some people in to action and hopefully bring about change that could benefit all of us. There was even talk at one point that someone in Nigeria was taking note of what was happening on boards.

You won't get no result by posting on boards. It's nearly the same as the Kerry shares thread. I think you're overestimating the impact of this forum on the wider world.

If you want to make a change and get your voice heard get involved in political party politics or farm union politics.
And build a network of people that you can contact.

For something that has no impact. People can still get quite worked up about what they read on here. But I get your point. Big business has enough resources to defend itself without help from people on here.
