I am hoping as part of the future environmental measures you prairie farmers have to plant hedges and divide you fields into wiggly, irregular, awkward shapes no bigger than 10ac... not that I am jealous or owt

Clive...do you add the seed cost to your fixed costs, or do you deduct it from your gross margin?

The straw looks like it was baled?? I thought you would want to keep it on the field.

my average field size is 10 ha - got plenty of small ones and many miles of hedgerows - that pic is just in one of the bigger ones

seed is a variable cost so is part of gross and nett margin calculations
