The second five farmers agreed, the supermarkets would go "ooooh, collaboration" and set the law on us.
No, they couldn't do that. It is completely up to us how much we produce and whether it is too much or too little the only influence they have is price. Only a few buyers have no hesitation in lowering prices with no reason given or needed. The only idiots are those that increase production when prices are high [or low] only to see prices fall again as a result.

The word you are looking for is collusion, not collaboration.

Haven't we been told enough times that what we do in the UK had no effect on world prices? I'll be drilling more wheat. But doubt my 30ac extra will kill the job.
We may have no effect on world prices but if the uk is in an import position it cost near on £ 30 above ex farm over seas to get wheat delivered to a mill in the uk
if 1million acres get the environmentle treatment uk ex farm will be higher

this year we have been nearer French prices for wheat since last harvest
barley will be nearer wheat when less is grown combination of lower area and lower yields
 
CF. NK Sulphur which is 27-0-6 + 6 so3 was £262/ton last Tuesday but by Friday 7th May 2021 it was back up again to £268/ton. Missed that boat and should have jumped on Tuesday. That lack of oomph has cost me £225 on a truck load, which would have kept me in booze for the rest of this decade, or alternatively would have paid for two of the four Michelin tyres I put on the Honda the other day. Damn!
£6 ton price rise, that’s a fair truck load to get to £225
