Show Notes
This week Andrew is joined by Ben and Webby, and things kick off in typical fashion with Ben and Webby taking jabs at each other. Ben also reports that his bike recently had a run-in with a pheasant — the pheasant started it. He then brings up the French freezer cyber-attack before Andrew takes the wheel with some good news — Dewing Grain’s Oct-Dec Pool will be over £200 per tonne. Andrew closes out with his thoughts on the unfair playing field UK farmers continue to face. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week Andrew is joined by Ben to dig into SFI. Andrew kicks off the market report with talk of Biscuit-gate. They start with the frustrations around getting into the scheme in the first place, before making the case that UK farmers are already doing plenty to look after the land — with or without a government scheme to tell them so. The pair then venture into slightly existential territory, discussing grain merchants as an endangered species, before closing out on the fundamental unfairness of the SFI system. Hosted on Acast.

In this week's Bitesize, Andrew opens with the two main factors driving prices right now. He makes the case that the UK is shorter of wheat than most people realise, and touches on the current state of Russian-Ukrainian grain flows. Andrew also flags a limited supply of low nitrogen spring barley as one to watch, before closing with a word of caution — Russian and Ukrainian wheat will find its way to market eventually, so don't expect elevated prices to last forever.

In breaking news, Ben has announced he will be braving the shave within the next six months — you heard it here first.
