20 plus on a root here
I know it's rubbing it in, but we won't need another drop of rain now for the rest of the growing season. It was a struggle harvesting tonight

Speaking to a farmer/merchant earlier who is sound, said he was buying bard at £140 and was offered piper on the fens at £120

Speaking with a merchant today, Agria have been trading at £230 and hoping to hold the price next week!

[Ed15677]

Yes got that tee shirt.

Did it still work?

 

[marshfarmer]

Still waiting to do fazor here can't seem to string two days back to back dry.
Anyway could somebody give up to date prices please.
Merchants are £5-5.50 delivered :/

 

[Boohoo]

Tonight I sold some at £1000 a ton delivered and the customer thought they were cheap. They want another 4kg at the same time next week!

I did a few days ago, lifted some piper today.

 

[Laggard]

I've got some blight in my potatoes and have removed all foliage. Should I lift them immediately and try and sort or leave them a couple of weeks so that the blight affected tubers are easier to pick out?

How many acres?

I'd leave them myself. Are they organic? I haven't heard of any blight this year apart from in organic ones.

 

[Still Farming]

Lot of blight down this way .

 

[Laggard]

yes they're organic. What is the benefit of waiting please?

 

[ridger]

Let them rot in therror field instead of shed then dig whatever is ok

 

[Sonoftheheir]

Looks like the AHDB are going to have to get a new graph if this carries on

 

[Iben]

Not looking good. Think they are busy talking the trade down as much as possible.

Long way to go before all crops are actually in store.

Being honest, anybody that thought we were going to have a repeat of last year's prices was being a little optimistic.......

It was never going to repeat itself, but could do without it hitting the floor.
