Drilling anyone?

But that is how it is. "Do I take on unlimited liability in a business endeavour based on third party cropping and weather?" is not a proposition to take pride in if it results in loosing to shirt, your wife's shirt, and you kids shirts. Once the potential downside is in excess of the business capital, it's ltd or insurance if you want to sleep at night.
I think every business takes on liability weather sole trader or ltd
Not sure insurance companies would take the liability
Negotiations are the only fair way for contracts to work but both parties need to be up front with fair get outs on both sides

We had 13mm thursday night/friday morning!?!? Glad its working for you.



Yet another downpour here just now.

So that's it for another couple of weeks.

Looks like the weather may eventually take up some time in February but, as it happens, all six varieties in the heaps here are "End Jan".

Where is the latest safe sowing date information found? How much does it assume we actually get cold weather

Pissing down here, so pushed any hope back another 2 weeks ?.

It's all on the HGCA site.

Sadly, unlike with disease, there's been absolutely no attempt, so far, to give us any regional advice.

Clearly, however, latest useful vernalisation might well be expected to occur rather later in, say, NE Yorkshire than it might in SE Cornwall.

But sadly, as explained by Brisel, above, the latest safe sowing date information is just copied across from the breeders' websites rather than having actively been properly researched by the HGCA.

So much for our 46p/tonne

A costly disgrace.

I had assumed it is all on the HGCA site, I don't haven't worked out where....?

Can we claim back our 46p/t if we follow the guidance and then find mid summer we only have a crop of straw?
