This week we are joined by the in-house gang of Andrew, Ben & Webby. Topics of this episode include everyone’s favourite……the weather and how that has been affecting the market figures. Webby got bored over the weekend and listened to a competitor's podcast and shared his thoughts on this. Oil Prices have been going up aggressively and there are talks about the dodgy penalty being given to France and Webby’s pink pants and matching socks! In this week's Market Report for w/c 8th April, Andrew has some great crop price news for us.

In this week’s April Fool’s episode, Andrew, Ben and Webby have two very exciting announcements for us. All marketing of UK’s Co-Operative stores will be going through Dewing Grain for next year - great news for farmers! After all the years of trading, there’s going to be a new feed barley crop – a bold, healthy and world-beating variety…The Dewing. The podcast walk location has been announced - the What Three Words are ‘Events-Diner-Rated’, date is still yet to be confirmed. Market Report w/c 1st April, the market has perked up a bit since last week but could spiral depending on the weather as we are due some showers, meaning potatoes and sugarbeet aren’t being lifted just yet.

This week is a bitesize episode and Andrew joins us to talk us through his opinions on how the market is looking at the moment and where he sees it going. Oilseed rape has finally moved its way up, alongside Feed barley for June. Malting barley crop is late for planting and all we are praying for is the weather is on our side for the next upcoming months. Sadly, there will be no Dewing Grain Walk this month, but we will keep you updated for the next one coming in April and hopefully, we will be walking in the sunshine!
