Dairygold has finalised the prices it will pay to its suppliers for harvest 2023. The co-op will pay €200/t for green feed barley and €210/t for green feed wheat.
These prices are excluding VAT and include the co-op’s premium of €5/t, which is based on the co-op’s minimum purchase terms.
The prices are based on grain traded at 20% moisture content and the moisture bonus deduction is €2/t, revised from last year.
Those who managed to get malting barley over the weighbridge will be paid €290/t.
The co-op encouraged growers to plant beans in the spring, when it offered a minimum price of €285/t. Growers who did not lock into that price will receive €255/t.
Oilseed rape growers will receive €410/t at 9% moisture content.
