Winter barley turning rapidly. We irrigated some spring barley. Starting to commission the digester. Over 600 t of dirty water pumped in. Heated up to over 20C so far; woodchip boilers running flat out - we need to achieve 37C. It will then be time to start to feed some slurry. |

I heard a report on Farming Today of people who had persuaded another firm to collect but were being paid considerably less than the rate the firm was paying its regular customers. I trust your wife's cheese-making is flourishing and able to use some extra milk. |

We are being paid a price related to the spot price of milk, which will inevitably be different from a long term contract where these fluctuations are taken out. The price proposed looks reasonable to us so far; we shall see when the first cheque arrives. > > I trust your wife's cheese-making is flourishing and able to use some > extra milk. > Fortunately the month we lost the milk cheque is when we normally draw the biggest proportion of milk; this year it was 30% |
