they didn’t read the room. I’m not a hobby farmer. And I’m not going lose money. When I signed up barley was £130 per tonne. And wheat £150.

£35 per hour. But if it rains I’ll go home.

2mm hailstones here. Rape locally looks off colour now.

Local dealer selling there in town site for a more industrial one. Fair play to them.

Never. I want too see it in the shed before the barsteads take it.

Sounds a lot but the local estate 7 miles away is 10k acres.

I’d be interested in the amount of farmer who have a fixed contract to supply malting barley.

carols replacement. Annie’s getting better at presenting now. And I have a feeling she will exclude the moray firth every other day.
