    Hogs at £200 plus….what price shearling ewes?

    this is the issue with SFI not supply or demand . There will be demand and price to a certain level but if the costs of processing become undilutable due to lack of supply or cost of supply the industry will crash .

    yes but on condition that in a month or so s time when some good hogs have teeth coming through or later on when the last hogs are ready I would expect the favour to be returned and not be discounted .

    Your costs and situation must be very different to ours then , is glyphosate not a pesticide ? You must be really desperate for straw to consider that and cereals worth more to you on that basis alone , forage rye will make good silage if you get the weather in april but getting it down to hay...

    Food security is a silly argument…

    cant see the difference TBH its a new option/options that doesnt need an operator/ occupier or market risk to get income on the basis of income foregone - attractive to nonfarming landowning situations as they didnt forgo the income , take the risk or use/need much working capital .

    Food security is a silly argument…
