My tuppence worth ,an awful lot of talk about the processor side of fixing milk price which is totally revelent to an individuals decision.should be based on your own personal situation only.

Your own personal situation could be impacted by being tied into a supplier for 5 years that doesn’t offer the best meal price even with a €30 rebate
So the processors record on price is very very relevant
Ignoring it would be daft

The feed element is making it really attractive for us. €30/tonne not to be sniffed at when feeding close to 1 tonne per cow.

Even if better value got elsewhere ??

Mooooo

Unless they offer the feed at a fixed price how can it work? If you sign up and can't but from.anywhere else how can you negotiate a price?

Is January the earliest to hand in notice to leave glanbia? Beyond dissapointed at their milk price at this stage. Lucky that 3 other milk proccesors pass the farm gate every day.

Yes 2years notice. I thought they might go up 1cent to sweeten those who haven't committed to the fixed price scheme yet

Your obsessed with an irrevelant league only published to boost circulation. The inclusion of the 1c only reinforces that point.

That league shouldn't and never could be taken seriously

In reality it’s the opposite
They couldn’t be seen to be rising base ahead of their deadline to sign the 5year fixed at 31
The farmer is not the priority

I don’t see anyone else here with that view
Apart from last months 1c error ,are there any other errors driving your opinion?

Or is it simply that we should all carry on and ignore what others pay?

They were at the sme stunt a few years ago. Coming out first with a low milk price. Lakelands would normally be the first to name the price

That struck me as well, Lakelands are usually the first to announce the price and it does look like an attempt to influence the rest to hold milk price at what they already have.

Grennans are guaranteeing 31.5c/ltr for up to 20% of their milk for five years with no obligation to buy their proucts

It's more complicated then that, if base milk price is say a average base price of 34 cent for the year, you have to pay them 3.5cent x fixed amount but on the other hand if base price is 25 cent for the next year they pay you a top-up of 6.5 cent on your fixed amount.....
Rep is coming out here tomorrow with all the particulars will be interesting to see the ins and outs of it exactly

Lakelands could steal a march on glanbia in signing up perspective new entrants though given they share a lot of the same catchment area, if they go up another cent any lad starting milk in 2018 with the choice of the two is definitely going with Lakelands

Agree ,so as a glanbia supplier where u happy with last months stunt and are u happy with just holding sept price when a rise is fully justified ?!

Totally agree, has always been my main issue with such schemes as inevitability they will be used to muddy the water.

I was happy with a 1c/litre retrospective payment.

Stunt, that's an opinion based on an assumption that the majority value the league. I'm afraid they don't.

IFJ chose to include it, wrongly in my opinion but it proves my point about the irrevelance of that league. The CG audit is the only one of value IMO.

I'm absolutely not happy about no rise how could I? It's a matter I'll raise elsewhere

Btw, what's you facination with Glanbias price? Are you considering jumping ship?
