    Hi All

    Attended a marketing metting Tues evening.
    Guess what they are going to teach us to market like Tom.
    So soon I too will be able to obtain a better than average low price just like him.
    No ideas on how to get a higher price though.
    There is a bit of EU politics you might be interested in.

    The UK is not in the Euro so agriculture was given protection against large currency moves.

    This amounts to £12/ha this year however our government has to claim this money before 31 Oct.

    Money is funded 50%EU/50%UK but due to some earlier agreement UK government ends up paying 77%.

    I am expected to lobby my MP. as they are reluctant to apply for this compensation this year. I wonder why??

    I find BEGGING demeaning so they will have to manage without me.

    I just want a fair price for my produce.
    More pounds/tonne, more dollars/bu is this not the answer to all our problems.

    Regards Ian
