From where I am sitting it’s a 40% surcharge if you are implementing one. Much over 105ppl needs accounting for.Fuelcard almost 150 per litre next week (from 144 *** to 149 *** +VAT). So that’ll be about a 6% fuel surcharge on every job next week

We base the variable surcharge on the gross charge for the job … not just the fuel element which typically makes up between 15% and 25% of that gross charge.
Something about the insurers require information about all of certas customers. Had to answer stuff too. Chap on the end of the phone said its a proper ballache
I've had that twice with certas. Ordered red diesel in April and they said someone was going to ring up and this would take a week and then delivery would foll
ow. Fuel came next day and no phone call. Ordered kero last week and the same again. Delivery was two days later and I'm still waiting for a phone call.

Not only have I cut down on fertiliser but there has to be a critical reason for starting any of the tractors. I’m probably not the only one

No, but less essential jobs that used to be economically viable, like grass raking, ground spiking, a third silage cut and so on, may no longer be viable and will not be done at least for this year. Not only that of course, but food output is likely to be reduced at least marginally across livestock areas in the medium term due to increased costs. Not in the short term though, as stock numbers are reduced resulting in more output than normal until Winter.
Carting silage and slurry long distances has become dreadfully expensive and probably no longer viable economically for instance.
Whether all of this extra cost is going to be covered by extra money for our output is the great question and the danger of producing at a very high cost and a sudden collapse of food prices later on makes it too much of a financial gamble for many.
