I am on an afternoon but there’s a heavy dew early every morning…hence why I’ve got a wet sock every morning

Stick at it only a few more weeks then you can swap over to boots until October

Hope the same happens with beef and lamb

Sooner or not much later beef and lamb prices will have to rise from current levels to counter some of the massive input inflation or production will surely start to fall sharply within 12/24 months.

Drover told me today his grain buyer had called his dad this week and wil pay £340 ton for Barley ex combine as long as they can supply it by the 10th of July!

Basically they are literally going to run out of grain unless its a very early harvest, well they only have themselves to blame for the shortage as they have been driving UK grain prices well below what they should have been the last few years!

They have themselves to blame but only because they were buying it last harvest to put on boats for export. It won’t matter to them anyway they only take their pound of flesh and pass it on. What is really wrong is the fact that city traders are allowed to profit from grain futures, money leached from the food chain. I’ve nothing against forward selling/buying to end users but paper trading of food should be stopped, it causes most of the volatility we have seen in recent years, starting rumours to jump the market and take quick profit

Going back to what you saying about the wind causing black bag in sheep, I was talking to a guy from the moors above Whitby yesterday, he’s had to bring cow and calves back in within a week for the same thing. He says there’s been a constant biting wind coming in from the North Sea

Was loading for a city boy on the grouse moor few years ago when wheat took a big jump. He was saying how he had sold his wheat too soon and didn’t make as much of a killing as others had. He got told quite bluntly what I thought of them trading things that they only see on paper and what an impact the high feed prices were having on my business. He didn’t have a clue that farmers buy cereals to feed livestock

Interesting yes. I put just under 1 cwt/acre of stockbooster 25/5/5 on most grazing ground in March
No black bag on any of that land but I did get it on some I missed
It has Selenium added to it someone was writing on here about it helping the cause

I imagine the tip was a bit light after that!?

Some of the ones I know do that. Buy it up at harvest and sell it on after the turn of the year. It doesn’t leave the farm until it’s sold they just send contracts out and handle money.
It’s a free country I suppose no one forces anyone to sell it to certain people. I understand what’s being said but it’s what needs to happen in a progressive country

It's a 'clutch' thing.

Yer left foot does a lot more 'up and downing' on the clutch while the right one has a gentler life on the brakes and throttle.

That's my theory anyway.

Trust me my throttle gets more welly than the clutch

Nothing to stop the farmers from holding it and making "a killing" or even the Mills.

Manchester United did it with milk quota years ago.
