Not sold any maincrop yet. Might have to break in next few weeks, although will still have to find someone to give them away to.

Have heard stories of people who have been dumping whole fields for stockfeed if they had internals/pest damage/heavy scab.

Still a big excess to get rid of as far as I can see.

Had an 8 acre field of Orla which was very scabby, getting £30t for them, better than nothing i suppose.:(

I think pre pack is £60-65, not asked for a while. Anything else is £25-30, haulage is the killer for processing.

On the other hand, pre pack piper is about £160 last I heard. I just need to persuade them that my piper does actually fall into that category! (n)
