Priming pipe. Warming slippers. Chilling beer. In anticipation of the howls of dispair from my left-leaning chums.

Nowt
which is most unlike me.... I’m normally fully prepared for any eventuallity
I might be tempted to sell grain before Xmas and/or sell a bit forward just in case
Otherwise I don’t think anyone really knows what the deal/no deal will be
Or what the rules will be
So I think in this case just waiting and carrying on as normal is the right course of action

Still have the diesel and shotgun cartridges that I bought mid April.
Treated all wheat with K-Obiol for long term storage.
The markets are behaving really strangely at the moment, with Nov '20 at £170 and May '21 at only £172 instead of the traditional pound a month carry, almost as if they're trying to buy wheat on the cheap before Brexit spooks the market into uncharted territory at the end of the year.
Might just secure T0/T1/T2 ag chems on farm, but FFS, I've lost count of how many times we've bought forward because of Brexit and Covid etc. Wondering what 'Black Swan' events 2021 will throw at us; more floods, droughts and a Martian attack.

How much will it cost the UK to prepare this time?
A lot less as the money isn't there to prepare!

If I get my wheat planted nicely and if it looks like everyone is going crazy for wheat, I may sell some forward.

Can't plan without knowing at least a small amount of detail, of which there is none - Safe to say that I will be refusing to take on Same-Day deliveries to Paris from Yorkshire which we have done on previous occasions...
I’ve just sold a lot of stores because I think the opposite

Waited 45 years for this , bring it in 
One of us will be correct then
There could
could be winners and losers or could be supermarkets maintaining control. I have less than 10% of the cattle that were here a month ago. Gamble time
Winners and losers now so just carry on as normal and see what happens, im not the least bit worried.

) Some advice would be great though!

It will be hardest for the hogg feeders buying now to sell in 2021 to decide. It can be nothing but a sheer gamble at the moment. 3000 odd hoggs at £65-£70 is about £200,000 outlay plus feeding,to get 3000 x £100-£140 back in Feb/March/April. If its a balls up,might be lucky to get 3000 x £65 back.

You can expect a ship-storm in the markets over the December period. A lot of people will make a lot of money over the coming days around New Years eve. Either way, I don't believe much will change. Sun will still come up, people will still go to work.
