Milk Price III

Not paying anywhere close to that and won’t be discussing it here but at that price are u covering all meal ,tb testing ,vetinary etc as that’s well beyond the top of the range prices Tegasc quote

Would love to know this too

plan on putting in extra slurry storage here just to be in comfortable position but as you say renting the land when you’ve no use for it is a zero sum game and only ends up pushing off other guys that need it

Not a dog supplier but calling the board (mostly made up of fellow farmers )assholes is uncalled for ……what do I do to challenge them ???have u ran for seat on rep committees etc ….not saying board men are super duper or anything …some are some are plain useless and get sucked in and forget the reasons why they ran for and got voted for the seat …..change won’t happen unless u force it

Kerry fixed price 34 -35 cent /litre July to October 2023

there will be a share of dairy farmers looking for social welfare at this rate before long

Kerry 44c/litre base fot feb but looking like a nice bit less for march

Reading up on that story they knew they had a salmonella problem from their own in-house testing procedures and never bothered to rectify it, mind-boggling

They are starting to be a shadow of the company that was created 50 years ago now.

The biggest problem in an industry is going from growth to a non growth legacy company paying a 2-4% dividend. It's similar to dairy farming at present. How will many consolidate what they have.

There is a good few that should have started 2-3 years ago but continued on the expansion trail. As the saying goes it's only when the tide goes out you see who had no swimming trunks.

Kerry is a bit like that. I see it with the last 3-5 years. The biggest problem is the legacy board of the co-op who want to own something. WTF would you. Ya maybe get you hands on the processing side but the stores, feed business who need them. Ya if buying cheap you take them but not buying them leaves you without the headache of managing them.

Similar with Glanbia I can never see the have to buy attitude go in kick the tyres for a while and if it not coming at a price where you see a 10+% return trot out the door.

Was really surprised with Kerry and the fertlizer price this year. They were 100/ton more expensive than anyone else. It's never wrong to take a loss it often cheaper in the long term

Update us on what they say ginger please.

Not been smart but hardly take 4 days off in year ……no excuse for that ….I’d also excuse milk lorry drivers from above …they put some hours in every week and ensure our milk gets to the processor ….I never remember having to dump milk because a haulier never collected milk ….in the beast from the east event I held 5 days milk and was preparing to dump milk after putting in endless hours that week ….didn’t even ring driver to see if he’d be out ….he rang me and said he was going to chance it which he did …..the one time o had to dump milk …nobody to blame bar the idiot that let antibiotics into tank 😱😱😱

Feetliser prices will drop further …only going one way …..feed prices on other hand are stubbornly high and good quality 16% nut is still 430/450 tonne which is bonkers

I think feed prices a lot lower on continent and in us than here …and with relatively good milk price there opening the taps and driving on …..Holland despite all the restrictions have had record production this spring
