That is nonsense. You need to research WTO rules. The UK is already a signatory. It is not bound by EU rules regarding who it may or may not trade with. I think you are getting confused about what the nature of the EU trade arrangements are.
Those contracts are signed, and stuff will be shipped, it has to go somewhere and they can't afford to stockpile it forever as other crops will need the storage and shipping in due course.
No agree trading relationships- doesn't stop the USA trading with us.
You're right, we do have a WTO membership/ signatory, but it is in the context of our EU membership and would need to be updated - our schedule of rights and obligations would not be correct, for instance. It's not going to be a smooth ride, and I would not want to rely on anything being guaranteed at this time. Crop farmers are lucky though - grain does not decay half as fast as lamb meat.
