AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds: Cost inputs and planning for 2023
Episode 379, Dec 16, 2022, 09:00 AM
In this episode of the Food & Farming podcast, we are reviewing the last year and looking ahead to 2023’s input costs and future rotations. Knowledge Exchange Managers Izzy Eames (North East), Hannah Bowden (South East) and Michelle Nuttall (North West) will be talking to three experts, Grower Collin Chappell, Agronomist and Nuffield Farming Scholarship Chris Taylor and AHDB Lead Analyst – Farm Economics, Mark Topliff.
We hear the biggest input cost across Colin Chappell’s business this year and how Colin is dealing with these rises and any changes implemented. Chris Taylor discusses the changes farmers are making due to the increase in input costs from fertiliser, changing their rotations to be at a lower input and planning for next year. Mark chats about the most significant cost concern for farmers and the changes that have occurred over the last 12 months.
