Coldstore can use a fair bit of power but have a better quality crop to sell, but you only get out what you put in

I think we were about £25/acre inch for diesel this year add about the same for everything else, including non cash items. 1 week we did 400 acre inch.

Luckily I locked in @15.7p unit year and half ago.still have 7 months on that price which will see me ok for this storage season.
Wish I'd fixed it for 5 years now!!!
Not sure what folks are paying now but will be crippling

I’d argue you’d get a difference in quality of crop through the winter, but you’d struggle to keep potatoes past may in our store.

Anything between £6 and £8 25kg
Nice sample of piper being the £8
Fuel to pump water alone has cost just north of £300/ac, I haven't worked out the total cost yet.
No cold stores here, ambient bulk is expensive enough! Again not calculated this seasons likely cost yet (Still lifting) Its not like we have any choice but to put them in the store, it'll be what it'll be
Yes, all processing, chips and crisps. Consortium and bugboost sorted the rhizoctonia without the pitfalls of amistar. That and OM in the ridge (rather than under it) sorted the bit of black dot we had.
Tremendous yields, did you miss the high temps?

Was hot but not as bad as further south and not for as long. Also had 260ac irrigated out of 270. Irrigated Tysoe did 24, 17 without water.
Didn’t say what size the boxes are though

I’ve heard they are the same no movement, which I find crazy as we are 9.1% down on area planted and there are some shocking yields being lifted from what I’m told.
