    Hot air balloons landing fees

    Had a virgin balloon land on stubble a week or two ago, they didn’t bat an eye at £40. (Ballon was behind a locked gate so not much room for negotiation!)

    Latitude price

    Very true, but having seen take all and what should have been a 8.5t milling wheat reduced to a 5t crop, it concentrates the mind a little! I use it on 2nd wheats drilled before mid October. Don’t bother on the continuous wheat now going into year 8.

    What should I be charging?

    What ever it costs you plus 10-20% I would be no less than £65+ vat per hour from the moment I start the engine until I turn it off at the end.

    Terrible wheat protein

    In a normal year an extra £10k on fert could realise £90-100k in premiums. Remember your investment can go up or down. (This year it’s down!)

    Changing from a Claydon hybrid to Weaving Sabretine?

    Personally I’d change to a 4m hybrid. Went from 3 to 4m a couple of years ago and the increase in output was well worth it. Wouldn’t want to loose the leading tine aspect of the drill. 35ha is easily achievable with a 4m drilling @200kgs/ha (may not be the shortest day but can do it)
