Well, this year, at least the United Kingdom has lived up to its reputation as been rainy and wet the whole year we have been battling wet fields and trying to cope with excessive water. All creeks are maxed out. Ground is completely saturated and we are luckier than most as we sit on a bit of a hill.
Thankfully, it’s not as bad as the spring. We had a pretty dry August, but some of our neighbours are still finding it difficult as they tend to have a bit of flooding in their stables our biggest challenges that we have only just recently. Harvested the wheat we planted with our neighbour we fulfilled our contracts and generated Modest profit it could’ve been worse. It could’ve been better. I’m not sure gonna do this again, but we did have the Free land and it was very low cost operation to us.
it’s amazing to think that virtually 3/4 of the year is over as far as the farm is concerned, our revenues are much more spread out than other farms. We are less dependent on summer crops. If anything profitability in the summer for a crop is a lot lower because of the competition from open gardens I’ve said this before many times we tend to use August to rejuvenate our, long tunnels there’s no point in trying to compete with the locally produce summer harvest
So therefore, despite August and early September being low revenue months for the farm some bits of the farms have done incredibly well nevertheless we’re still on track to be ahead of last year spectacular performance crew will be happy to know that our numbers are well ahead of projections, which means better bonus for 2024
