That’s pretty much exactly the arrogance of our government...they think its ok for a rich country like ours to import food from other parts of the world where the population there go hungry.

Sometimes you just wonder how our gov lyes straight in bed any night talk about shafting its own people.Ask yourselves can those other countries around the world grow
food cheap anymore,inflation is a global problem not just a UK one .
Our biggest threat is a government that will import food from nearly any destination
whilst simultaneously doing away with equal standards or requirements.
Can’t ever remember a government as hostile to farmers as this one, sooner they are gone the better for UK ag.
You need to give the current lot a bit more time yet.Blairs government, Nick Brown was OK as ag minister, but to reward us for the fuel strikes we had Jack Cunningham in the new DEFRA (Its would have pained them to have 'Ag' in the title) and Margaret f**king Becket, both of whom presided over the lost decade of farm profitability. I'll take the current bunch of inbred incompetents over Blairs bunch of champagne socialist cockwombles any day.
Yes although I agree with PSQ about Blair's Government I do think this one may surpass it in its disdain for AgricultureYou need to give the current lot a bit more time yet.
But it won't pay for my fertiliser at £390 for this year let alone next years at whatever it isI wonder if this is the start of the realisation of the hole they are in if they don’t start doing something sensible quick
Supply and demand will determine the priceEuropean natural gas seems to have fallen a fair bit in the last 2 weeks, I wonder if it'll help ease fertiliser prices, no new prices out for AN yet so I'm told
No sign of it running out .Supply and demand will determine the price
Just as it does with grain meat or milk
Not that much sign of buyer resistance from what i read here.No sign of it running out .
All things considered, gas still 3-4 times the price it was 12 months ago. Russia who WERE suppliers of circa half of all AN and large proportion of Urea, P+K to Europe now cannot export that. May be wise to hedge your bets on some fert on new season...... unless that is, if you somehow know that Putin is going to withdraw sharpish and that all sanctions get dropped soon after, then there would be sense in waiting to order some top grade Russian dust to try spreading 24m.No sign of it running out .
The fert price doesn't bother me , the wheat price doesAll things considered, gas still 3-4 times the price it was 12 months ago.

Agree, but I think you’ll find that Gordon Brown’s reign as Chancellor has been the single biggest disaster for the UK as a whole (not just farming) in living memory. The seeds of the UK’s destruction were mainly sown by him.Blairs government, Nick Brown was OK as ag minister, but to reward us for the fuel strikes we had Jack Cunningham in the new DEFRA (Its would have pained them to have 'Ag' in the title) and Margaret f**king Becket, both of whom presided over the lost decade of farm profitability.

I’m not that hopeful. Market forces are the only thing that’s gonna prevail.Can’t ever remember a government as hostile to farmers as this one, sooner they are gone the better for UK ag.
