As the wheat harvest harvest starts in a few days I'd like to take a moment to thank you all for paying an extra few pence per loaf and helping me pay for my next car ( stop surfing now and go and buy a chicken sandwich or ten )

it may gaul a few of you to help me to feed my family, but what the hey


but more sensibly the last time wheat prices soared the credit crunch followed close behind, maybe wheat is the last refuge for worried city traders before the hit the fan ???? At work

Please keep growing the stuff, I also have a family to feed! You grow crops, weeds then grow, I then help kill them!

Let's hope there isn't a knee jurk reaction and grow loads of the stuff next year, good for me in the short term, but just adds to the volatility, which is no good for anyone.

Staple foods are still too cheap, although the Tescos weekly shop seems to continue rise well above inflation.  1998 Feelander XDI Hardback - Gone

We have decided in our household to eat less wheat products, anything to stop CG getting more dosh

Just shop at Tesco's that will make any money paid to him the bear minimum  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I think id postpone that new motor CG, were averaging 2 tonne/acre wheat over here today. We will have well under half our normal quantity by the end of the season.
Shame we sold 500 tonnes forward
Funny thing these price hikes, trouble is when everything came back down nothing else seemed to follow.
