Was at a frontier meeting on Thursday and they were saying the whole market is driven by corn/maize now.


North and South America being main growers, large world stocks at moment with production increasing.

i stopped listening to frontier a long time ago, shame , our rep's a great bloke!

Frontier/cargill don’t give a crap about Uk farmers. I don’t listen to a word they say. I believe they have brought danish wheat for delivery in the east coast for harvest.

Our local rep, is brilliant, not that I do that much business with him, he is very much on the side of his farmers and has probably helped a lot out of sticky situations (maybe at a cost I don't know?) but even if so, it's better than the alternative.
Although I don't do a lot of business with them, he always has time for a chat and happy to quote when I ask.

I'm not naming and shaming them. Didn't do it to me.

Seems a pointless comment to make if you won’t then warn others which suppliers are doing this.

Don’t get me wrong. I’ve had a 20 year farming relationship with my Fronteir rep. and We both agree agriculture in this country is in regression.

Did a test on mine that's saved from harvest 22. 100% germinated and grew to 6" high until I stopped watering it!

Do you grow it in soil or just on tissue in a tray for the germination test

On tissue.

Was it used loo roll?

Was it used loo roll?

That would smell lovely sat in the sun on the kitchen window sill

 

[redsloe]

No!
Next time though that could take it through to harvest.

That will be like using starter fert

Just curious when you said you’d got 100% germination as I usually just put it on tissue paper, but the lad that works for us took some home and don’t think he realise that’s what I do and he planted it in some soil and got a better germination than I did

Got a sh!t load of OSR in store with local merchant in the north east of Scotland. Totally f**ked off with arable sector. Wouldn’t mind getting shot out of a cannon and into the North Sea.
