Fair Play Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Saw on the tele this morning a year ago + wheat was £70/ton this month it was up to £188/ton. Farmers are to forgo other crops to plant 40% more wheat this year.

Guest gladdo Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 well there is an investment in itself so get the corn in troops !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guest Vic Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 yes, i seen this too, its unthinkable the items that will go up in price [not just pigeon food] Only too true Jim, Everything has shot up by at least 10%, bread, dairy products, it's just one big rip off. If newspapers went up in the past, they would forewarn you. But not these days! They just do what they want. About ten years ago, they put the Times price down to half of the normal dailies, Murdoch doubled the Times circulation, and now it is back up in price, almost DOUBLE the others. You can't win. >
DOVEScot Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 Sadly just a case of supply and demand, it is what makes the modern world tick, low yields and high demand. Whether it be grain, oil, wood, housing or fresh air it costs more £10 a bag or JS best all round today :'(

Farmers are to forgo other crops to plant 40% more wheat this year. No doubt then he price of wheat will go up again ... for some silly reason like 'Profits aren't as high on this corn we are FORCED to grow'! etc. etc. I't's called, Legal rip off from those unable to fight back! Or won't, but in reality often we can't do a jot...

The problem with suppliers from England is they send out on artics or the lager lorries and on pallets, if you do not have a pallet handling device then depending on the courier you have to off load by hand. Plus how close can the courier get to where you are going to store it. How far do you want to lug 40 x 25kg or 50 x 20 kg bags per tonne maybe in the pouring rain :-/ Easiest option is if you stay on a main road and have a smooth driveway with very little or no slope right into an out building, then a you could invest in a pallet truck, also a very flexible time scale to receive deliveries :-/ Trust me I have been there

Guest Vic Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 Yes! They all jump on the bandwagon when it suits them. It really should be a Banned wagon.
