ID 5623675 - DAERA - CAFRE - ESTABLISHMENT SOIL CARBON STOCKS BASELINE AT THE CAFRE FARMS

The CAFRE Soil Carbon Coring Project has been developed by technologists at CAFRE to obtain a field level baseline of soil carbon stocks, soil nutrient and carbon properties at the five CAFRE estate farms in Northern Ireland. The project will provide CAFRE with a dataset that can be used for the delivery of innovation projects and industry demonstration on the management of soil carbon stocks and soil sequestration rates across a wide array of soil types, land uses and management practices. The project objectives are to - provide a detailed accurate measurement, analysis and establishment of a dataset of soil carbon stocks on active agricultural soils and on non-active agricultural/farmland soils at an individual field and subsequent whole farm level at each CAFRE farm centres - sample, analyse and report on broad soil nutrient and carbon properties at 0 – 7.5 cm depth on grassland areas and 0 – 15 cm on arable areas at an individual field and subsequent whole farm level at each CAFRE farm centre.. CAFRE wishes to establish a contract for a Supplier to provide a stratification and sampling plan, in-field sampling, lab analysis and reporting of soil carbon stocks. In addition, the supplier will provide the provision of sampling for broad soil nutrient analysis, and soil carbon properties from across the CAFRE estate farms, which are to be analysed by NRM Cawood Laboratories. For further information please see the Specification document.

Dairy Market Indicators Review

AHDB wishes to conduct a review of our dairy market indicators. The *AMPE and MCVE market indicators are used in farmgate price formulas and negotiations but need to be kept up to date to ensure accuracy. Reviews have been conducted at roughly three yearly intervals. Following the last review in 2020 estimated factory costs have been kept up to date by applying relevant inflationary indexes to energy costs including gas and electricity, and labour). AMPE (Actual Milk Price Equivalent) is an indicator of the factory gate value of a litre of milk used for butter and SMP while MCVE (Milk for Cheese Value Equivalent) assesses returns from mild Cheddar and whey powder/butter. Processor costs and yields in the calculation of them are subjects to change over time due to factors such as economies of scale, more efficient factories, improvements in milk solids and changes in energy sources. In order to address this, AHDB wish to commission a review of AMPE and MCVE to ensure representativeness. The review will seek to establish how UK processor costs and yields have changed and what representative figures for these would be. The conclusions of the review will be reported in the spring of 2025. Although they are not intended to be correct for every plant - there are instead designed to be typical of the industry - it is important that they are updated from time to time as technology and costs develop. It is important to note that milk price indicators are indeed, "indicators". There is no intention to provide an absolute value. There is variability in costs across different processing plants and factors such as milk composition, plant utilisation, and efficiency will affect this. The value of market indicators is as a basis for identifying trends and to attempt to use them for more precise purposes goes beyond the limits of their scope and accuracy.
