Totally agree only really hay and straw are free market today and not all on contract unlike in 1976 when grain and potatoes especially soared. Oh for the good old days. Tying everything up on contracts etc.. will lead to shotages much sooner eg vegetables when high prices would have helped to ration stocks this coming winter.Will be interesting to watch supermarket PR behaviour in late winter this year when supplies start to dwindle.Yes, but the price hasnt.
With the canadian problems, danish drought, etc the sky could have been the limit this yr, but with farmers prepared to deliver unpriced, we are screwed
