Father used to get upset his nora wellies always split left foot first
He had loads of perfectly good rights no lefts though

This is what happens when hogg prices aren’t good enough….there’s not enough money to reinvest in the business

Usually the back of the heel where them wellies split, sometimes after only a week!

Cannot get a price for deadweight lambs next week as the slaughter company's are expecting lamb prices to drop sharply on Monday morning in livestock markets!

Prices are already £10/20 head less than 12 months ago + add on £30 head in increased input prices per lamb on 12 months ago so at least £40 head less in real terms on 12 months ago so its quite clear what is very likely going to happen within 12/18/24 months from now if they carry on trying to force farm gate prices downwards!

Is that springers or hogs? Or both

Nothing to stop the farmers from holding it and making "a killing" or even the Mills.

Manchester United did it with milk quota years ago.

A young Truro auctioneer used to do it years ago

no loyalty to his clients .

If you reaD the news this mornin, it would appear that the west think Putin will try and starve the world into submission over Ukraine. Many countries in the Middle East and Asia must be very worried about how they are going to feed their population in the next few months.
Cant see grain prices easing for a long time. And even if they do sort the Ukraine situation out the mess the country and its infrastructure is in will take years to get back to where they were.

Drover told me today his grain buyer had called his dad this week and wil pay £340 ton for Barley ex combine as long as they can supply it by the 10th of July!

Basically they are literally going to run out of grain unless its a very early harvest, well they only have themselves to blame for the shortage as they have been driving UK grain prices well below what they should have been the last few years!

1Oth of July is rather optimistic even for your area !

It's a 'clutch' thing.

Yer left foot does a lot more 'up and downing' on the clutch while the right one has a gentler life on the brakes and throttle.

That's my theory anyway.
