I save a couple of hundred quid per tonne on cereals, more when the disease test comes back clear of bunt and fusarium and I don’t have to treat the seed.
Osr is the biggest saving of all, with a far higher mark up when buying in. Hybrids look great on paper, but I haven’t had a higher gross margin on hybrid osr than home saved conventional varieties for years.
All royalties are paid - I’m not denying the breeders their fees as we need the R&D.
How do you clean the osr seed?
