The current reality of farming. New crop wheat is emerging, looking great for many. One of my favourite sights in the farming calendar.
But in reality, with current wheat prices and high input costs such as diesel and fertiliser, many of us will need to set new record yields on our farms to have any chance of a sensible profit margin.
Meanwhile, supermarkets, energy/fuel companies and fertiliser companies continue to post huge near record profits.
And what does the government do to help the very industry that feeds it and our country.
Drastically reduces financial support to farms, and increases tax in virtually every way possible! Don’t worry though folks, because a reduction in import taxes are about to make gherkins cheaper, cheers Andy!
But at least the crop is off to a good start, much like it was this time last year, before the drought destroyed all its potential!!
