Potato market never makes sense to me. A couple of months ago, uk was exporting processing/frying potatoes to europe because they were short. Now they are importing them back!

Loads of piper up this way at a big discount to prices you quote. Not hard to warm them up and make them fry.

Sigh reading the prices others are getting. Thing's are picking up tho and I think I'll sell right out now. One says they are bruised but fry lovely other days the opposite, the joys. Bought the price back and suddenly all good again

Was on £240 a couple of weeks ago for packing piper, was offered £200 yesterday. :(

Location,location,location?!

Can't do them quick enough here, and want to start planting. Easter always the busiest time here I reckon what with spraying,planting and bagging up. £340 Agria,£310 piper unchanged this wk.
