Spring Crop Options January 2012

Growers wanted for the following:



  1. White Peas - up to £35/t premium over feed peas - NO BLEACHING CLAUSES - variety GREGOR (highest yielding  of PGRO Recommended list 2012) England only.
  2. Spring Rape - if you have virgin or ten years clear land and 300 metres isolation from other rape - CONTACT ME ASAP - significant gross output opportunity - in excess of £1200 gross margin / ha possible. 5 to 50 has per farm sought. Five year requirement. Produce to be exported off farm by November. 
  3. No virgin land? Spring rape - £460/t fixed price. Crop off farm by December. 
  4. White Millet - bred and selected for UK conditions. Ideal for very light land looking for a break - talk to me - rabbit and pigeon proof (but not north of humber). £600 gross margin plus. 
  5. Lupins - GM-free home grown protein for dairy farming, or crop contract
  6. UK GM-free soya - crop contract
  7. Spring cereals - oats, wheat, barley - if you have the land I have the profit opportunity!
