potato price

[Iben]

If I remember correctly it was around £35 .

Thanks, I just can't remember. was thinking nearer £25, but that's just a wild guess.

Next week I'm on the magic 3. [emoji3]

Got there in the end. I had my arm twisted to start Agria at £300 last week.

I think they should all be in the 3's really as they really are short about.

 

[Sonoftheheir]

Slightly off topic, but does anyone remember how much the potato board paid in late eighties, if you sold some to them in years of surplus?

I was at school but I'm sure it was £30 and you had to put paint on them?

 

[Trying]

O well that's me done for another season. Any one getting over a 3?

330. Off 20ac I'm only small. I hope you didn't think I was a big player. Just started to get there eyes open so could have held off 2/3 more weeks but who knows. Hope to keep them a little cooler next time and I don't gas.

A nice little earner this year nonetheless!

How are people finding the bag trade currently? Seems very steady at the moment, with no real price movement in the last couple of weeks?

 

[ridger]

As long as they keep moving IL not question the price, one of my customers told me last week that they should soon be cheaper

Expect the price to go up when we run out. Which will be in about 3 months at the current loading rate.

Is that ahead of normal? Some fair sized growers in the west been cleared out a while on bag chip trade who would normally be trading for several months yet..............

So what's going on this year? Where will it end? O and what price are you all getting for mids?
