397 - A Rapid Harvest

This week Andrew is joined by Webby and Ben to discuss a rapid harvest and last week's brutal drop in market prices.

The team question why the market hasn't reflected recent political events, and why spring barley is performing so poorly — with a 65% loss rate and considerable variability in the spec of barley coming into store.

Feed wheat prices are looking up though, and Norfolk has finally had some rain.

Ben and Andrew also announce an upcoming trip to Scandinavia. They turn their attention to OSR — is it still as profitable as it once was?

With planting season approaching, concerns are growing for those with no plants in the ground and crop grants on the line.

Food security worries across the UK and Europe also surface.
