Some of that old money paid for the NFU poultry board to go on an expensed jolly today to some European poultry conference to talk about irrelevant things whilst their producers go bust:

Anybody hear Mr B on Radio 4 this morning?

Euston Estate energy costs originally budgeted at £80k, but actual nearer £300k while irrigating the veg since April. Went on to say veg cropping may be dropped if prices don't improve on the annual supply contract next year.
Fertiliser up three fold too, cereal yields under pressure as well.
No mention of crop assurance though!

He's gone up in my estimation then.

Not much, very low.

Difficult to feel sorry for someone who claims its not all about yield but cant water his sugar beet on sandy soil over a massive chalk water sponge? Finally i see why TFF members might create posts like this....
