That's what I was getting at, if weather keeps going I can see a very high price, but rubbish yields?

Pretty early to predict rubbish yields. Most of them have just gone in the ground.
The weather will break and there will be plenty moisture. Even if it stays dry, with widespread irrigation now, I can't remember last time average yields were knocked by much due to drought?

I would rather have 3or 4 ton less an acre and be a lot more money [emoji383]

200 in bags every year over the last ten would have been very nice

Finished grading piper today -
The Piper yielded 20.5t acre planted sold.
Agria only managed 17.5t acre this year while the Sagitta did 27t acre planted sold.
Been our best season since 2012/13 sales wise. And probably in the top 5 of all time.
Glad to be done, but will be sad when the cheques stop coming!

Where did the price finish for you? I have heard that Lee's have 3000 acres in the ground this time

£310 piper, £340 Agria.
Lees about 1000 acres up? Must need to get rid of some money
According to my agronomist anyway. They have over 200 acres near me, mostly on land I have never seen in spuds for the reason that its not very nice at all.£310 piper, £340 Agria.

What do spuds cost to grow an acre, £2000?
They'll be shopping for a few more farms this year.

Wow good result. only 30t left, but not near those prices, feeling the pinch now with a poor yield year here,
Blight sprayed today for the first time. I need to try some sagitta another year. Do they always do so well

Ordered some blight spray today, I reckon I'll be starting next week.
First year on the Sagitta so I don't really know? I doubt they'll be as good this year as they had sprouted more when planting and they may develop small potato disorder because of it.

Do they trade at similar money to piper? Had to patch spray some piper tonight with reglone, just in case they won't suck the sencorex up.

Sagitta about the same money as piper, but better size,shape and yield.
