Prices trouble Cambs grower

“It’s a bit too wet so it’s not going too well” for Anthony Morbey in Ely, Cambridgeshire.

Three fields of Recital oilseed rape yielded around 3.5t/ha, and was of “average quality”.

Harvest this year will go terribly badly because “commodity prices are too low”, he said.

He was worried heavy rain will affect the quality of the wheats not yet harvested.
