Those that are growing maize for crimping what prices are you getting?

We have a full time position available on our family run mixed and diversified farm in Lancashire. We farm around 600 acres, finish beef cattle & lambs, process grain and have a busy farm shop. The position would ideally be filled by someone who has PA1 & PA2 qualifications and has experience...
