Just goes too show how wheat has been devalued. If true.

[Christoph1945]

Like many things - it is more the way it is grown than the actual crop itself . . .

if you look at corn ( maize ) growing in the US ( or Australia for that matter, but in the US it is a MAJOR crop ), it is vastly different to the UK experience.
Besides, it isn’t hot enough or a long enough season to really grow corn in the UK for anything apart from green chop or AD

Many thanks for your patience and taking the time to educate this farm illiterate townie.

Each day I live, I learn more and more and I suppose that it would be a bad day when I don't learn something new. Only recently I watched one of those programmes of 'In the Factory' With Greg Wallace taking us around the Kellogg's super cereal factory and showing us how they made Corn Flakes from thousands of tonnes of imported maize.

I have also watched Greg take us around a baked beans factory and
a number of other production lines and as this jovial entertainer educates us about factories that supply a great amount of our prepared foodstuffs one can't help but be grateful for a stable energy supply grid that allows the units to keep running; oh how fragile and delicately balanced our national food industry is!

Many thanks to all you guys, and gals, that brave the cold light of dawn, late nights, untold weather conditions, grubby labour, and isolation to provide the fresh food for all our tables.

Stay safe, stay well, and please don't forget
that at least some of us are grateful.

Chris
