Those vegans do be full of beans

Apparently the lack of vit B12 could cause a person to go a bit mad. So I wouldn't go annoying them. The last thing you want is to be eaten by a vegan.

GDT results delayed but looking like a 2-3% drop.

Skim and butter up and WMP and BMP down. No idea of the average yet though.

I'm predicting a one cent increase for February milk to thank all the dairy farmers who worked so hard during the snow to keep milk flowing......

Average down 0.6% so more or less holding steady.

March milk is 31cpl + vat.

April 30.5. + vat.

May ‘probably’ 30. Will know closer to the time.

Sure what's new. They nearly always lead the price down😦.

White Clover

There's no chance they'd rise the price in 3 cent increments. There will be big cut backs in Cow numbers around here.

now i will hit the sales for a few heifers,,,

Very surprised by this 3c cut. I didn't think the markets had weakened that much. It will be interesting to see if other proccesors cut the 3c as well. As for the 1cent bad weather top up, With the price cut it just feels like a slap in the face.

Top up prob added post solids adjustment as well

I heard last week big cuts were coming, sub 30 cent in quick order. Glanbia are the first we will all be in the same boat.
Powder market very weak, butter has to carry the price. it is a lot easier to hold prices November-January when volumes are small. No chance of current prices being held as volumes increases.

If things are that serious it's obviously time for pay freezes across the board, renegotiation of all other suppliers contracts/prices, and above all the 50% increase in fees for the neds is revoked immediately. Not to mention all dividend payments suspended with immediate effect. If it's that serious.

If milk averages around the 30 cent for this yr we will be doing very well indeed.the one cent for bad weather is some insult.not surprised by glanbia.

There should be consequences for the Coop's aswell, it's up to farmer members to put the pressure on to get their coop running as efficiently as possible. Although I don't buy the idea that Coop's are looking to cut price for no reason, maybe I am wrong and we are been robbed.
Look at where smp&wmp are at you don't need to be a genius to figure out the current price wasn't going to last..
It would seem to me that an average of 30 cent base would be a good result for this year.
Is there any evidence to suggest we would be short changed at that

Lakelands should be announcing their price fairly soon. Will be interesting

Entirely depends on where butter prices stay, at 4800 a ton and if skim/wmp powder stay at current levels, I'd reckon 28 cent would be a good average....
A lot of ominous signs re supply ramping up in Europe, along with intervention stocks, plus what the Americans have in storage their is a glut of dairy products trying to find homes

poor farmer

Lakelands dropped the price one cent last month.
Meeting to set the Feb. price tmro.

agrifan_1090

dairys on a road to nowhere atm . we're producing way too much milk all across europe since quotas were lifted. hogan had a sharp message and its time it sunk in. this volatility is unworkable we'd be far better off having less milk but it be more valuable.

Water John

Agrifan, you are preaching heresy. All the processors are telling us, keep increasing production and we'll sell it.
Now, they haven't mentioned, at what price, but that's a small detail that they will tell you, the month after you have sold your milk to them.

Are the low 20s on the cards before long.
