Tend to agree like , but just more choices freedoms getting taken away really isnt it …. ? Not sure how i feel about it , im not keen on laws .
Scale the stock back and get a job seems like the most sensible thing to do at the minute. If they're not willing to pay for the food then fuk them.

The train driver thing wasnt the drivers it was the bogg cleaners , now they probably on min wage and earn less than benefit cheats/ lazy oxygen theifs, weather or not they should strike im not sure but i dont want to see their right to do so taken from them .

No that’s not the answer, scaling back and going part time is the Irish and Danish model and they are on lower prices than us. It’s just playing into their hands, swapping one way of subsidising cheap food for another. Pack in altogether, don’t do two jobs for one wage

1100 store lambs at Exeter today averaged £75 head.
Top was £100 head, back about £8 on the week but mostly due to poorer quality today.

I think we should be a little worried then. Speaking to the auctioneer after the sale at Hexham today, he wasn't too upbeat. He's been down south through the week and was getting the drought story again and again. A few regular buyers missing today. He specified none in from Yorkshire, which was obviously unusual. If this runs into an extra large glut of droughty lambs a bit later then god help us!Speaking to my lamb buyer this morning told me that the store market is key to fat job for the next few weeks. If the stores maintain the good start, it will draw out the lean lambs from the fat markets, and fat will steady roughly where it is. If the stores fall back we’re in the
@valtraman makes a valid point, more folk want lambs to finish than want to lamb ewes but I think we need to pray for rain!
I reckon labour will try and get rid of starmer. Unions have got them by the balls.

It’s a bit grating to be honest. I could earn a hell of a lot more working elsewhere out of farming. Be it wagon driving or even in a warehouse somewhere!
I’ve spent the last 12 years building up relationships with wintering farms for grazing and winter crops. I’ve got a collection of right good places now. If I were to scale it right back so I could work off farm I’d have to give up all that. And once I give them up, there’s not a chance in hell I’d get them back after a couple of years if we hit a major recession or farming took off.
so I’d have to either be all in, or all out. I couldn’t do both, hats off to the ones who do!

No sure there will be a huge glut later - we were getting told there's been a lot of under finished drought lambs dumped into the fat ring already (what started pulling the price down in the first place!)...
Certainly places need rain desperately and it's going to be an interesting autumn - but store sales right now are all reading strong trade with plenty apatite from the buyers present

Forecast for here is a few days of sun and drizzle then coming back very hot and dry from next weekend onwards.
Every combine in the SW must be on the move today, many of them in Winter Wheat, looks some very big bouts of straw around.
If we get the weather they forecast than other than some spring crops the grain harvest in the SW will be finished within a week/ 10 days.
No grass around here at all, neighbours been on third cut silage, round baling it, about 0.25 to 0.5 roundbales an acre in most fields, cut about 6 weeks ago and had slurry since the last cut.
