Last year our fertiliser spreader blocked and I managed to miss a strip in the middle of a field. The yield off that bit was noticeably less, it wouldn't have been enough to see us through winter. Normally we use 1.5 cwt urea plus slurry, we've ordered enough for 1 cwt/acre at great expense, if we didn't use any the rent and contractor's charges wouldn't drop .

Store cattle at Carlisle seem to be a strong trade today.Maybe up a notch from last week? Often seems to be stronger trade once November comes in. Wonder if any marts stand the money for 3 or 4 weeks till the BPS comes in?

If people can’t pay for cattle until they get their bps they are in for a shock soon.
