Interestingly, there was a programme on BBC2 Scotland 7.30pm tonight about Biofuel.

 

One UK farmer has abandoned keeping a field 'natural' for wildlife conservation and getting paid for that, in favour of growing oilseed rape for the biofuel market, there's more dosh in that. Also his wheat crop is going there too because he gets more money for it there than from the food industry. Greenpeace spokesman said 1 tankful of biofuel for 1 car = 1 years bread supply for one family.

 

Government are apparently having a rethink. Simple question really, which is more important, feeding folk or running green cars?

Both, if we don't feed folk we won't need any cars, if we don't cut back on green house gases then we won't have any folk to drive them either :-/

Once they admit it we are all fooked, because they are considered the richest economy in the world mostly by them and the finanial markets that compete against the dollar. Russia, China and the Midle east would crucify them and we would be caught in the cross fire :'(

Elections are the only thing that is giving them any breathing space, if Bush gets back in, America will go into meltdown, also the global warming or freak weather whatever causes it, is devistating the American grain outputs, I can remember them keeping the world price down by having grain mountains :-/

I think young bird numbers will be down for most of us this year ( at least it will make selection a bit keener )

 

 

fanciers will be more selective in their breeding programe and rear less young birds so it may result in healthier birds in the loft as they will have more space and fresh air and lead to less losses in racing

the feds will then have to put up the cost per crate to cover the drop in birdage

it is going to be a very expensive hobby in the furture
