[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 8034660, member: 44728"] IIRC, when Avalon was the NIAB top recommended variety (even though it was a group 1 miller) in the 80's, the UK could have been fully self sufficient in bread making wheat. The reason it didn't was because at £4/tonne premium, many farmers couldn't be bothered to to wait for the inevitable phone call as to why the lorry had to be diverted to a feed mill, costing them more that the premium was worth. Also that the millers still preferred to import some very high quality wheat to add the the grist to ensure consistent loaf quality for everyone's marmite sandwiches made with sliced bread. [/QUOTE]
