Spot and forward prices (£/t ex-farm) Each set of prices comes from a single merchant, co-op or broker, and are the latest prices being paid to farmers. Ranges of prices, within one category relate to the distance of the farm from the buyer. Oilseed rape prices are latest spot and forward prices, not contract prices. Ex farm prices vary with the distance from Hull, Liverpool and Erith, crushing factories.

[H3] Moving to 25cm row spacing

Moving to 25cm row spacing offers the opportunity to maintain yields while achieving improved weed control and better plant health. But what are the pros and cons? Does the ability to hoe between the rows outweigh any yield penalty of wider spacing? Are overall costs reduced?
Focus: Benefits and implications of a 25cm row spacing strategy.

We'll also look at how water quality influences pesticide performance, and the simple steps growers can take to manage spray water more effectively through real-world examples.
