Price of Corn

last couple of times ive been to the corn shop the price of corn seems to have gone up ......anyone else finding this ?

yes every time david, even straight forward farm corn, wheat and barley up 20% last visit. Won't stop either, new harvest just round the corner always jumps up after that. Regular mixes be £20 by August I think, wheat and barley be around £12, hope I'm wrong

whats the reasoning behind it colin ...?

European market I was told David, Ukraine/Russia grow most our wheat and there's now obviously a shortage, city bankers invest heavily as a commodity, bid on the open market, prices rise and knock on effect with all imported grains. Same happening with fuel hence the price rises.

dont we grow or produce our own produce any more, why did our government make us so reliant on other countries .......britain was the workshop of the world, have have we become so useless .

Once farmers were being paid by EU not to grow crops under the "set-aside" scheme, many small family farms that did produce were bought out by the landed gentry who grew nothing and were handsomely paid for doing just that, nothing. ££Billions of taxpayers money shared out every year to many who were already loaded, so it's an easy guess who didn't vote for Brexit

They still get subsidies for growing nothing though, supposedly reduced each year, hopefully agriculture will get a kick start otherwise we are going to be at the mercy of producers worldwide.

thats about the top and tail of it colin
