    OK. So you've got a full time job. You do relief milking via FRS (like me). I milk a herd of 500 per night with farmers son which takes between 3.5 and 4.5 hrs. After tax you take home just under 25 euro. Ask yourself, is it worth it?????? For me, it pays for the kids clothes etc....

    Are FRS billing for relief milking or billing for agricultural hours worked?

    Good question..... It appears there is a sliding scale. You would have the standard rate up to say 80 cows then charge 15cent a cow for arguments sake. The question is, what is the cut off point when you go from charging the above rate to charging something per hour because I can't see any large farm going with the first rate. The milker would be earning 100 quid per milking. It's all stacked against the relief milker.
