[QUOTE="Pieces_of_Eight, post: 8099452, member: 41606"] Putin's troops could be about to cross the channel from France and some people would still be wanting more trees planted and more flowers for the birds & bees. Food inflation has several causes, but taking thousands of hectares out of production (some annually and some permanently) is really not helping. For a commodity crop like feed wheat, increasing our acreage by 10% and producing another 1.5mmt is not even a drop in the ocean of global production and certainly wouldn't make a jot of difference to prices, especially with the Ukraine historically growing double the tonnage of wheat that the UK does. A cough or splutter in the exchange rates of £/E or £/$ is going to make more difference to growers' pockets. [/QUOTE]
