I think it is a very well run dairying business.
Yes, I think you're right percy - try Southern Capital/Hirequip/Pegasus town? and Tasman Agriculture all in the mix at one time or other. Graeme Wong was another name coming to mind.

Possibly you would, as the record date was 9th October.
But what would hold me back, is the fact they are not despatching SPP details until the 20th November.
My worry would be if you are not on the register when they despatch the SPP details you may miss out.
Maybe the way round it would be to not sell your whole holding,retain 500 or so.

Yeh I was thinking that but I'm sure if the record date says the 9th, I should be given the SPP info. Will let you know!

Any dairy company paying too high a price [farm gate] for their supply will run at a loss.
Any dairy farmer who can keep their costs well below their selling price will make a profit.
Any dairy company that can sell their product at a "premium"and has the marketing and logistics in place will most probably make a profit.
To me it looks as though VDL dairy farms are located in the wet west of Tasmania,and depending on borrowing costs ,should be low cost producer.Hopefully there will be a tie up with BAL and their product will be sold at a premium.

Corporate dairy farms usually have higher production costs than smaller owner operator. I don't like the look of this. Better to buy the milk and make the product.

You might like to ask the New Plymouth District Council if it was profitable (from money raised selling their lines company to Powerco)

And very difficult not to get a 20% drop in production when converting to organic supply
