That's the problem, wheat needs to go in after the spuds so can't wait too long!!

Any cut ones will rot at these temps, very worrying.

What's bag piper money now then?

Can't shift them at much more than Sagitta £ even though they are short, bulk the best option at the moment.

I wondered if chip shops were doing a better trade with the mild weather?

 

[Trying]

Also forgot to say that chip shop £11 a bag when I went in on Saturday.
yet again all the margin is in the with someone else.
that’s their new normal price from now on.

 

[Trying my best]

I think they sometimes tell you they are paying more so you don't complain at the price of chips

Sometime Ridger when you have a spare moment it would be good if you could list your blight sprays applied, so we could see what you use in a real blight prone location compared to us LIncolnshire folk who operate in a relative desert compared to you!!!! I reckon we use more fungicide than required but daren't not use it. Hey ho.

I farm close to Ridger. The loss of mancozeb has been a massive blow for us and really diluted the number of fungicides at our disposal. We spray every monday meaning if application is delayed to friday we will go monday again with a different active especially late june and july. Our main products are zorvec, ranman and revus and these will quite often be applied with a partner option, shirlan or proxanil.

I got mancozeb this season off my usual supplier no problem. I thought it was going to be withdrawn last year but now it's not?

Sounds about right. Was told directly by a local farmer yesterday that he was getting £240 ex-farm for decent quality Sagitta, 25kgs bagged for chip shop trade (down from £250 a fortnight ago).
