To pre invasion prices..... £230.00?
£100 drop .
With that in mind anyone tempted by Nov 23 futures price? Been going up too in the past week. Currently £278
Could be a great price in 18 months time if grain and fert were to fall back to normal range.
If they don’t it’s no good at all though
If drought conditions continue this summer then that may be the time to do some for then.

Might be an idea to do a little bit, I have never sold 2 harvests in advance, but I have never farmed in such volatile times.With that in mind anyone tempted by Nov 23 futures price? Been going up too in the past week. Currently £278

Ask yourselves can those other countries around the world grow
food cheap anymore,inflation is a global problem not just a UK one .
Our biggest threat is a government that will import food from nearly any destination
whilst simultaneously doing away with equal standards or requirements.

Unlike ordinary gambling, farming losses are tax deductible and profits taxable, so anyone who's not very good at managing risk's much better off as a farmer.

Our own government are probably our biggest threat.So basically our current government then...
The ’equal standards’ for food between the EU and U.K. that were supposed to be implemented by the U.K. in July (EU implemented them 12 months ago on anything we export) have been cancelled completely now for imports.
Rees-Mogg now saying that if we are not enforcing any standards on imported food from the EU then to be consistent we shouldn’t have any checks on any food products from the rest of the world.
Meanwhile we have to comply with various standards/regs that very few countries could match if we want to sell stuff in our own country.
Crazy, crazy situation. Feels like the government will do ANYTHING to try and keep the cost of food down, and this would be absolutely the last roll of the dice. We are about to become the dustbin of the world
Can’t ever remember a government as hostile to farmers as this one, sooner they are gone the better for UK ag.
Crazy bull are you still looking for some Trafford tile sheets? I have loads for free. Please let me know.Giggles

Im turning my attention now to the likely end stocks for this season. aka Im bored and like crunching some numbers.
I have to agree, I hope with far higher food inflation and shortages just around the corner they alter their attitude or perhaps they think its ok for a rich country like ours to import food from other parts of the world where the population there go hungry.
