Potato price 2018

[Sonoftheheir]

Off topic however where can I buy a set of of potato riddles?
Ideally the ones that stack up that sort them as they are tipped in while test digging,I can’t for the life on me find anybody who sells them.
Alternatively is there a ‘modern’ equivalent now?

will maris piper be the main variety grown in Scotland? what sort of yield would you expect after grading 20t/acre saleable?

 

[Flat 10]

Doubt it will be that high this year!

Depends on your end market? Piper can take every virus/disease/slug going. Not hard to harvest 20t/ac and only sell 10% of that.

You produce some slug damaged, slightly scabby piper, grade it hard yourself and then send what's left to a packer and see what your return is!

In all honesty, the whole field would be consigned to the Stockfeed pile.

Grimme Cameras.
Has anyone worked out a way to replace these at a senceable price ? With non grimme or an adapter lead, from 8 pin male to 4 pin Female.

Did you have any luck sourcing after market cameras John? Just about to make it my evenings work to see if I can source some. The price of grimme parts this year is scandalous.

No
I am told there was a disscussion on face book on this or twitter. If you know how to search it.

I think they want removing after harvest & storing in airing cupboard.

Diquat got the axe today.

 

[Farmer-George]

Looks like there will me a lot more people going down the flail and spray route then....

 

[david]

I wonder what they will try to eliminate next ?

Vydate ? Nemathorin ?

 

[Trying]

Anyone started to move any? Or still storing. Know of one selling at 380 last week and 400 this.

 

[Honest john]

Diquat got the axe today.

Cost affective,
Rain fast in minutes,
Very effective,
Fast to cover the ground.

Makes farming to easy, ban it !

So now left with Gozia & Spotlight.
More expensive,
Slower working,
Less effective ( stems only )

Another sad day.
