Agree - trials at AgX Lamport this year - straw rake, Xpress at 3cm and Xpress at 8 cm overlaid with untreated/Luximo/Proclus +/- Avadex and then 'direct' drilled. Chit last summer obviously poor due to lack of moisture but much higher populations in cultivated strips and better control in...

Some stark contrasts in performance with Luximo/Proclus +/- Avadex when overlaid with differing cultivations at Project Lamport this year - focus on nutrient use efficiency and bi-cropping which talks to the latest SFI schemes too. If you would like to visit please follow the link below and...

@Smithjamesjohn we've been wresting with this issue for 8 years now at our Lamport R&D site - link here https://www.agrovista.co.uk/lamport-agx there are some short clips which cover many of the suggestions/problems mentioned in this thread. If you, or anyone else for that matter, would like to...

It's a pretty blunt tool which, I think, merely shows gross ouput per ha (yield x selling price) less N costs. I assume there's some yield response to differing rates of AN factored in. Obviously not GM as no other variable costs accounted for. Simple calculation here - happy to attach...

Tesco PBT fell by £200m to Feb 21 vs. previous year - 1.55% profit margin. Re: wheat cost as proportion of bread.. Approx. 650g flour in a 800g plant produced (white sliced) loaf. 1.3 tonnes of wheat to make a tonne of (white) flour. At £250/tonne for milling wheat = £325 wheat per tonne of...

Some interesting research into AB15 drilling time & its effect on blackgrass control here... https://www.cpm-magazine.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/LamportAug21.pdf

Linked to SFI - released today on DEFRA website... Environmental land management needs to deliver for farmers, foresters and land managers. Because it’s a big and complex area, it’s tempting to consider these groups of people separately, but for our policies and schemes to truly work, we need...

Ha ha! As if I'd want to spend a day at the cricket with @Clive :p

I spent a day with him at the cricket some years back during the Top Gear hey day - he was exactly the same as his on-screen persona - very good company albeit he loathed the cricket!

Or store copy of data and give the agronomist access to shared cloud such as One Drive or Drop Box?

You are a small company if.... a turnover of £10.2 million or less. £5.1 million or less on its balance sheet. 50 employees or less.

Parent company here - https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04913846/filing-history Only accounts for a small company so basically balance sheet.

Sainsbury's own label (well, at least some of I believe) is packed by a French-owned business (Tereos) in W Yorkshire. Company used to be known as Napier Brown and was one of , if not single, largest customers of BS. I suspect they'll still buy a healthy volume of sugar from BS down to pure...

Correct - 31st Oct in both instances.

Local producer has one of these, filled daily, v popular. Pop money in slot, select 'window', and door flies open!

I don’t believe I said Farmers should take it on the chin - if supply and demand dictate then price will rise whether for feed wheat, milling premiums or both. Millers will ultimately recover any price rises and bakers similarly albeit with a lag. Tesco et al will not proactively raise...

Don’t shoot the messenger! I agree completely but just pointing out the reality of retail. Fact is, cheap loaves made from flour blend of grp1, grp 2 and probably some biscuit wht too. There will always be someone willing to grow and supply here or abroad. When wheat was at record levels...

Retailer Gross margins typically 30-45% on core grocery items, often less. Manufacturers usually a bit less. Note this is Gross margin, Tesco PBT 2.3% so there is not a lot of fat in there. Ice cream is a good example though - R&R (UK's largest private label manufacturer) showed a Grosss...
