I'd say "can't" is probably the best word to describe most of the staff at RT and the top table at the NFU............sorry didn't realise it was an A after the C!!!!😂
"can't" is probably the wrong word because if someone so wished....it could. However 99% of bread and bakery goods sold are made with mixed (domestic RT and imported non-RT) flour and therefore the logo would not apply. It could be argued that this is due to the "choice" of the manufacturer.

"won't" is probably more accurate. This reinforces the perspective that RT "brand" and any supposed value they would suggest it provides is completely and utterly null, void and unachievable. On top of that, anyone in the chain using the logo on the packaging has to pay a royalty fee to the RT mafia. That alone is a significant incentive not to use the brand, especially as it provides ZERO added value to offset this cost.



Oh, and if you buy ANYTHING produced by Sainsbury the logo won't feature as they don't believe in the brand.

The price of oats is €300/ton in the farmer's warehouse, in the south, near Portugal, there are quotes of up to €340/ton. Feed wheat is paid at around €240/ton. When the oats from the UK or Germany arrive here, I suppose they will go down. I tell you this so that you are attentive in your sales, because the margin is very positive for merchants. What is the price of a ton of oats in the UK?

Probably similar to wheat for milling quality.

IMO wheat needs to be at £200 or above, and barley at or above £180 to make any real profit out of the job.

But they ain’t. And nor do I average over 3 tonnes an acre of barley to compensate: and if I do put on some extra N to try and get 3.5 tonnes an acre it ends up either brackled or as flat as a witch’s tits, and either results in most of the heads going the wrong side of the combine cutterbar.

i hear of people getting 3.5t/acre sb every year and always wonder how they keep it standing when theres heavy rain?
