Just have to remember to read it and make sure it’s right! Mine was incorrect this year but thankfully soon sorted it. Harder to do after the event.

I thought the same. Someone thought that £1k would cover the loss. Its amazing people that head up some of these very big firms have special calculators that cant add. Looking forward to the reply that comes next. Would have been very interesting if the shoe was on other foot and prices crashed and i backed out of order what their view would be then.

I would point out that the loss is £6.5k and that you don’t wish to be holding it. I hope that they do the right thing.

I thought the worlds poorest were generally subsistence farmers who don’t have fertiliser?

Thats the very very poor.

There is a heap of just "poor" in between them and us. They will need to cashflow it

I think there will be plenty of farmers over here that will be poor enough to baulk at nearly £20k a load .

Can't keep less, the less you keep the less you sell!
If we get overstocked we keep more in during the summer. They eat less than they graze I think.

Sort of goes against the green agenda a bit though...

When you graze even if it is dry the action of cow feet trampling grass it grows less it is a fact ,zero grazing you will produce more grass.

Less stock when prices are high earn as much as more stock when prices are low, so now stock prices are high keeping less and cutting inputs will show more profit.

How does that sit with this mob grazing malarky.

I am an arable man from Lincolnshire so know nothing about grass and grazing but the mob grazing I wondered how much is trampled.

Now getting on for 40 years since I sat in a lecture hall listening to livestock and grass management. All I learnt was to recognise Ryegrass which has proved useful as a weed in arable land. And Foggage Which to me seems awfully like Mob grazing and this was 1980.

 

[Old apprentice]

I would say diferent concept isn't mob grazing to helpg the soil structure etc ,zero grazing is usually very intense systems , I could be wrong?

Here's the view from the other side of the pond, does make you think what the effects will be next year.

Fertilizer prices today will bankrupt most farms with a hiccup next year. PERIOD! - Farming and Agriculture Discussion Forum | Agriville.com
