Trend report Milk & Feed Pro

Dairy farmer really doesn't want a manure surplus now

June 15, 2018 - Redactie Boerenbusiness - 3 comments

Due to the new legislation, a manure surplus has become less interesting, but in 2018 it could also have major consequences for the company. The relatively high collection contributions, the rising price for the Replacement Processing Agreements (VVO) and the phosphate rights that are becoming more and more expensive; that's the reality.

You can read more about these and other important developments on and around the dairy farm in the Trend Report 'Dairy farmer really doesn't want a manure surplus' for the month of June. The report is exclusive to Milk & Feed Pro subscribers.

You may not want it, but you can now dispose of manure on nitrogen under the same conditions as years ago!! Idiotic regulations.

many years ago the manure debacle started with the chickens. The pig farmers and cow boys stood by and looked at it but did nothing. At least no support. Then the government started to tackle pig farming. The chickens and pig farmers started to handle manure processing. And again the cattle farming did nothing. Did those cattle farmers really think that they would be spared (by) all environmental perils? Agriculture is split and therefore they can easily tackle it piece by piece. Cattle farming has had golden years. Good opportunity to also invest in manure processing. Has (almost) not happened. Sorry, missed opportunity.

They have to stop wishing about manure here it is all about if there is money to be made from it but they have never found out what is the best and produces the least pollution because if a truck drives after Zeeland it certainly does not pollute them need to think about what they are doing

manure problem now yields 400 euros per hectare .. does anyone here think that that problem will ever be solved??? If that happens, a hectare of agricultural land can be worth 20% less. The interests are different and far too great. Despite the fact that dairy farmers now have to sell manure, they do benefit from a higher land price or from sale or from more development space.
