So my 20 acres I'm planning on growing could be £25,000 worth?!?
Makes me wonder if I'm better off selling it instead of feeding it

Anyone heard what they are charging this year for drilling, we normally pay £25 but guess will be up fair on that, had ranking bill come other day that at £52 per hour , there will be some very big contracting bills to come, especially now fuel going back up

You'll need to find a buyer first though.

Can always just clamp it myself and then sell it by the trailer load at £60/t? Not planning on doing it but it does make you wonder!

The price of it will largely be dictated by what kind of growing season we have this year.

Cheshire pressure

Fm up 2 pence to 42p. Might be naive but that’s enough to make a profit at current input prices

It’s all very well in June when input usage is low but you’d think it needs to keep heading up if they’re wanting milk in any quantity through the winter. For some of us growing our own maize is never going to be an option.

 

[jondear]

I don’t really understand why they have put the milk price up so much so quickly. They’ve never been overly bothered before. They must be absolutely terrified that production will fall off a cliff.

I wouldn’t bank on people not expanding. The price of stock is going up and up so there’s is a growing demand and the price being offered for maize is unreal.

It will get overcooked .!Farmers can't resist

I strongly suspect there will be a downside to this curve at some point

But if you did that, what would you then feed to your cows?

Got loads of silage here there and everywhere, and still got 6 months to grow more

Not Cheshire further South. Meanwhile my family is selling maize for £350/ac to people who haven't paid their bills 2 years.

Just my luck we went down with 1 TB animal before we had loads of heifers to sell.

Standard cheshire pressure

 

[supercow]

Takes it to 40.5ppl standard liquid litre (42ppl manufacturing) for 1st June? They're starting to leg well behind the pack.

It doesn’t really bother me what others are paying I think if it did I would visit the mental home more often contentment is important in this game

Trouble is current input prices are a lot lower than they will be next month and the month after

Taking that into account. Anyway I may eat my words

 

[supercow]

Aye maybe so, but I can't see national milk production expanding much at that price, more needed me thinks if they want more milk..

Not crazy bothered about national milk production

I seem to have a mixture of emotions at the moment, sometimes excitement/optimism at the rising milk prices, sometimes gut wrenching worry at rising input costs.
Treading the right path through it all will make a huge difference to profitability
