I sold all my stock feed this week for processing £300 per tonne!

Did you drive it home in your muddy wellys !! I can see them in the 3rd pic reflection. Lovely car, I like the colour, far too many cars in boring shades of grey nowadays.

Not coming this way I bought some potato grading equipment and it had an inch of dust on it from Holland. Meanwhile every machine for export from uk has to be immaculate, I know a machine failed last week as there was dust in the air filter!!

I also drove that machine in WA December 03, it was brilliant but JD said too expensive to build commercially.

Pull out the JD link fuse, can’t happen again.

It was good to see where all my seed potatoes go. Huge difference in scale from the large growers of well over 1000ac of potatoes each to the small family farms that are still using buffalo and donkeys on their 3ac farm ( growing 1ac of spuds) All wanting Scottish seed. The packers are busy...

Diamond I think, I was it lots of fields this week!!

All comes originally from the Nile through canals, this fields are 70 miles from the Nile.

I’m in Egypt just now, just started lifting last week. This land was a desert until 4 years ago.

Free buy £400 per t last week.

Luckily you kept the new Holland, Keep the fendt for top work,( what it was designed for, not heavy draft work)

Still a few fields to lift locally here. I don’t think there will be anything come spring, waterlogged or frosted by then.

Don’t think many packing growers would have the patience to bag thousands of tonnes into 25 kg bags.

I’ve had a 533 pivot for a year now with the vario gearbox.. It took a few weeks to get used to it. Great for yard work, normally have max speed set at 20k all you use is throttle no need to use the brakes, On the road it’s ok, flat or gentle slope everywhere at 40k but it doesn’t like hills...

Sew Europe Ltd Liverpool newlong NP -7A

Speaking to a few Dutch traders they said 25-40% reduction of normal 35-55 mm seed tonnages. One merchant was 100,000t short!!

Just back from the show, a lot quieter today, I really enjoyed it, I think it’s a good thing that’s it’s a biannual show. Real shortages not just in uk but across Europe so if you’ve good spuds in your shed there’s money to be made.

Plenty of 55 ups this year!

Local chipper paying £ 25 a bag for Agria, I’ll maybe offer him some Markies or Babylon!

Biggest seed variety in Scotland this year knocked piper off the top, piper has a 30% drop in area for 23. Cara has the largest area on my farm all for export to Egypt, finished bagging today.
