Stockpiling

[Johnnyboxer]

So, are you stockpiling vital spares and items for the farm, in case of Shortages and supply issues in January 2021 post Brexit

Tractor spares - filters & oil, hoses and fittings

Implements - Belts & hoses, bearings and earth wearing parts

Dairy - chemicals and milking machine spares

Livestock - vaccines and worming products etc

Arable - chemical and fert etc

Could you be caught out by shortages of vital components to your farming operations??

There will be no shortages don’t believe the hype

No. I suspect seed and fert prices will be talked higher. I mean there's always a reason.......
Fairly sure there was an exact same thread about this last year....

Can you be 100% sure?
Best to plan and be prepared

‘Fail to Plan’ leads to ‘Plan to Fail’

with in reason
ie
call into dealer to make sure they have suitable oil filter 25hours before due
if they aint got it-get it

Apart from grass seed, I don't need anything fir three years. Bit of diesel perhaps.

Will be like the millennium bug . It will come and go with little impact

There was a lot of money, and man hours, put into preparing for the Millenium Bug, which is why it didn’t cause any problems. A lot of contracting software programmers made a lot of money as they were in such demand.

Prep for no-deal Brexit, not so much!

But no, I don’t intend stockpiling anything, other than loo roll of course.

If we all stockpile there will definitely be a shortage. So keep calm and don't bother.

Imported timber!
It’ll be an excuse to put the price up, Brexit, Covid, demand £££

All boluses, feed, mineral blocks and lambing products will all be bought before the end of this month. Bolus’s were all bought in September as it suited cash flow plus buying half then and half in January would’ve meant 2 trips to the dealer and not as much of a discount as ordering double the amount.
Nothing new and I do do this every year mind

And lots of money made by firms "claiming" there was going to be mega problems. Me a cynic never.

Inadvertently stockpiled bale wrap and string due to a shite hay and Haylage season!

 

[steveR]

Cherry Diesel and Beer.

Wormers...?

Most of teh drugs we use are imported??

 

[bobk]

Huge shortage of barley with the £43 tariff , order now or regret it

 

[robs1]

Fuel is cheap so makes sense to stock up, I bought enough filters and oil for the tractors etc plus baler twine at the beginning of lockdown in March still have some in stock, covid issues far bigger than brexit.
