Got to start feeding out AB12 once a week from tomorrow, had to order in a complete mix (bit of a faux pas not holding a few tonnes back wheat back), had a range of quotes from £450-700/t.
Settled for £480/t delivered.
The Mid tier AB12 payment is £632/tonnes, so from my £480/t that leaves £152 to feed each tonne out at least two different feeding areas 22 times or £6.90/ week... To include, attaching broadcaster to tractor, weighing and loading seed into hopper, cleaning out and record keeping etc.
I think its of great benefit to birds so am happy to do it, but would be nice if it at least covered costs or somewhere close.
On a separate note, I'd like to run around the headland tramline on the AB6 stubbles as well as adjacent to the AB9 is this acceptable or must I not travel on AB6?
