Don't worry, Putin will flog us some wheat when we're stuck on National Loaf.
Putin is actually starting to worry about keeping their wheat for his people to eat!
At least putin has some foresight....

He should pump his gas to the poor devils he sent to Siberia.
We wouldn't be allowed to be a monopoly, that's the difference

They’ve levied an extra £5/t on feed, even though the producers signed feed contracts with them at a known price.
The farmers of course will not be able to pass the £5/t on to their customers.

I sure their next letter will be to supplying farmers who forward sold wheat to them on a rising market to inform them they don't have to stick to the contract and can add £5 ton to that price to cover their rising cost.
You’ll know your farm better than me!
I was just making a rough estimate that cutting N rates in half would probably, on average, cut yields to 70-75% of normal. To many variables to be anywhere near accurate, but if you’re trying to cut back on N usage you have to have some kind of budget for output reduction.
When I took part in the LearN project cutting N rates by 60kg/Ha (approx 25%) reduced yields by 15% so I just extrapolated from there really.

That's a bit cheeky on a forward contract isn't it? Charging an extra £60 to grain which may have been already sold to them for £150
More than a bit cheeky, it’s purely re-writing the contract with a new price in their favour.

And just shows that it’s a waste of time.
I wonder how a farmer who sold their crops badly would get on applying a “surcharge” to their sale price!

Personally I think every one who receives that letter should tell them to poke it up their ring and never deal with them again.A deal is a deal.

It’s the guff in the letter about how they will be supporting their customers that really grates…. they’ve just stolen money off them!
Agree I did this too.
