On first read through, good news for UK farmers. Dairy / Lamb / Beef all have import tariffs. Not a final position but certainly a strong starting point. check-future-uk-trade-tariff…

A good week! I would recommend a subscription - one of the best £150 (even cheaper to renew) you will spend to get straight forward information on the dairy markets.
Last weekend we reported to members our FCStoneMilkprices.comUKMFE forward curve as having already managed to reclaim over 20% of its value lost due to COVID-19. Our latest report has just come in. Jeepers records breaking again but this time on the way up! One word....Phenomenal
A few clients asking about this today. It's not available in Scotland.
DAIRY COVID-19 FUNDING ANNOUNCED: Eligible dairy farmers will be entitled to up to £10,000 each, to cover 70% of their lost income during April and May to ensure they can continue to operate and sustain production capacity without impacts on animal welfare. (1/3)
@OnlineAgShow is up and running! Were supporting the event through @5AgriGroup. All for great causes and very well done to the organisers. #GreatestAgShow also, have a look at my.agri-ignite.co.uk/page/co… for our free tool to help plan through these strange times.
Nothing new here but a reminder of why drones can do. At OFS, we are fully registered to carry out commercial work, so get in touch if you need any help.
Find out more about the use of drones/UAVs in agriculture from our series of information guides which you can find online at: buff.ly/2KpzSfM
Its not what we want to hear but it is reality. I'd highly recommend giving @MilkpricesCom a follow.
...following on and before you feel the milk price is being robbed on the skim, here's the real choker, given the current price for skim milk concentrate on the current open spot market, it will hardly cover the extra processing cost! Suffice to say the current situation is dire!
Things a changing quickly but we're still working away - just not on farm. Agri Ignite has been upgraded to let us use it for SAF forms, so if you need help with it, phone us (01461600540) or email office@owenfarmservices.co.uk facebook.com/575653385825116…
