Glanbia Ireland's range of dairy compound feeds and coarse rations. Straights are excluded. How will Glanbia calculate a farmer's feed usage? Compliance will be mainly based on trust. A test will be undertaken each year to ensure suppliers are operating within the spirit of the scheme. This test will benchmark feed volumes versus production model and historical usage. Sanctions will be applied for non-compliance. How do I know I am buying my meal competitively? Glanbia says that the price charged for feed will reflect normal commercial/market prices. When will the feed rebate be paid? It will be paid before the end of March each year on prior year purchases. How much feed is being allocated to the scheme? Initially 25,000t is being allocated. This will grow over the five years in line with the tonnage used and milk output of participating suppliers. Worked example A farmer with 100 cows supplying 500,000 litres and purchasing 75t of meal and is allocated 20% or 100,000 litres of milk.
