Looking at the price of seed at £400 to £450 depending on variety, single purpose dressed.Is it then worth the extra cost of Latitude at £190 or Jockey at £140/ton.
This would give a cost approaching £45-£50/acre just for seed at a traditional 1.5 cwt/acre.
Would a second cereal[wheat] following spring barley that had to go in after potatoes really need a take all treatment. And what about 2nd wheat after maize if drilled mid october?
I just feel costs all round are getting ridiculous with a falling wheat price as well.
Any thoughts?
