I don’t see it playing out like this from my experience. Break crops are being dropped even on the best yielding combinable cropping farms. This is more evident where contract farming arrangements exist as the owner can turn their labour and machinery costs on and off wherever they like. Rape...
Fully specc’d with drying floor, stirrers etc. I reckon based on recent projects you’re looking at £400-600/t.
You can do it for less but it depends on what quality you want and how high spec.
Without drying I think you’re around £200-250/t for a decent shed fully costed from start to finish...
What mixes are people considering for a six month NUM3 on blackgrass clay land that doesn’t result in a huge biomass problem at the end of August? Looking to drill wheat after with a tine drill - don’t have a disc option. Happy to cultivate as not planning on DD.
I doubt it. next years market is already trading at import parity as we will be bringing wheat in due to poor autumn establishment. The UK producea around 14mt a year in a global market of 780. Unfortunately what happens in the uk is no longer relevant to price once import parity is priced in
Stacking certain SFI options is not possible on the same parcel on the RPA website so I think this will settle some of the points made about sequencing two field scale options on one parcel in a 12 month period.
Shockingly wet here. And another 40mm forecast this week. SFI will be taking a major part of the acreage from now on. Just too much risk for too little (if any) reward.
62mm here near Aylesbury last Wednesday- Friday. That follows 50mm a couple of weeks ago and 45mm forecast later this week. On our heavy clays we held off drilling to last Monday. Managed to get 40% in but no pre-em applied thank goodness as I fear Fridays rain would have washed the mix straight...
Canned it altogether here. H23 crop dreadful following the best ever return in H22. Gross margin for H24 is shocking and on blackgrass land the kerb fails to work on anything planted before October.
switching to GS4 / SAM3 / NUM3 and going more or less 50% wheat 50% herbal leys. Ignoring H22...
