Hearing rumours that stonegate are dropping the egg price by 6p, even when you are on a feed tracker!
Didn't think they could do that!

Seems a bit crazy considering the number of new sheds going up.

I'm sure they've written themselves a nice loophole into the small print!
I still can't get my head round why anyone would think a feed tracker would ever benefit anyone but the packer/retailer.
Isn it taking the risk out the job? Surely free market egg price is low at the moment and feed prices high?
I hope all these new producers with posh new sheds and very big loans can finance the job when it all goes wrong. Which it will soon!
I've never been tempted, but figures in the ranger do suggest people on them have been better off for last year.I'm sure they've written themselves a nice loophole into the small print!

How can feed be reduced when we are going into a harvest with around 35% yield reduction? What I can see is a reduced egg price but increased feed price!
Stonegate 8 p drop if they all fallow ,we will be doing the job for nothing

What we're they paying?It's 4p on large and 10p on mediums, and it's on tracker contracts

If you are correct, then the core principal of the tracker has been abused. I would consider it fraudulent if buried within its terms was a 'get out' clause, moreover, a contract which is designed to provide a mechanism for pricing and contains a clause to avoid that mechanism would, I believe, be deemed unlawful by any court. This is not force majeure.
