[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7941408, member: 86168"] this is the year to see how much fert we actually need, to what we think we need ! we all might be pleasantly surprised. Going forward, if fert is going to be substantially dearer, we will have to learn how to use it more effectively, or product price is going to have to rise substantially, to cover all the rising input costs. Energy prices are going to seriously hurt an awful lot of people, you are looking at at least a doubling of domestic costs, food inflation is already causing concern, and all you hear, is the guv has to do 'something'. They have put the country into serious debt, to try and keep the economy going through covid, and succeeded, we are forecast to be one of the fasted growing economies, in the world, and that is good. But simply put, they cannot afford to subsidise energy, and/or food, and food isn't taxed. Without further borrowing, which may, or may not, be possible, what other option's are there ? They will probably do something to help the poorest, and pensioners, but l rather think those in-between, will have to pay, however unwelcome. And of course, the world is not in 'harmony', with some very real hot spots, close to home, and all we can do is hope that common sense prevails. But, if it doesn't, defence spending will have to rise. Then there will be massive interruption of the trade routes, with all that will apply. [/QUOTE]
