Sheep have been a good trade for 2 months. Your arable payments are 80 x more than some of what we have on offer and what we have is limited very limited. The only decent payments are claimable if you have no stock on or don’t graze during the short growing season for 5/6 weeks£260 per acre plus messing around with weeds. No crop to sell.
You only need to sell two lambs to match that & can still use your land to produce more lambs.
I'm voting with my feet, herbal leys, maybe grazing some cover crops, more sheep & more time spent with hedges & walls. Arable losses unsustainable.
Where did you find mushrooms growing in February
No, it's an ex farm price. Be 125 on farm minSerious question could I go and buy a couple hundred tons of barley today at £99 for July delivery
Probably inside them soggy wellies of hisWhere did you find mushrooms growing in February
I very much doubt it.Serious question could I go and buy a couple hundred tons of barley today at £99 for July delivery
Not when the market is about £140x for harvest barley. No idea what that £99 barley price is. WeirdSerious question could I go and buy a couple hundred tons of barley today at £99 for July delivery
What is your land worth per acre?Sheep have been a good trade for 2 months. Your arable payments are 80 x more than some of what we have on offer and what we have is limited very limited.

I can’t get my head round why good land that is easier to make a profit from farming needs a higher subsidy payment than land that grows for 4/5 months a year.
I did last year and it will take years to get over what we paid for grain - would have preferred a sensible average TBHIts very sad, how hard it is for the arable sector at the moment.
If you can imagine hoggs at £40 & cull ewes at £28 for good sorts not hill breeds. That is where arable is at the moment.
Please do anything you can to help them.
Well not really. I find it quite insulting lecturing someone with poor hill land how to farm with crumbs of a sub payment when it’s unlikely you would manage to do it yourself being used to good land.What is your land worth per acre?
Surely the better the land, if it is been taken out of production, the higher the sub needs to be?
Easy way see how many arable farmers, go bankcrupt over the next two years.
not so sure, there are a few more options with arable land, dairy men, spud men, AD etc etc.Easy way see how many arable farmers, go bankcrupt over the next two years.
