    Brian should read this - clearly the BBC are on a mission to save rare
    what as well as rare breeds.

    Possibly, but there's a YT channel called Harry's Farm which is about
    erm, Harry, who has a big farm next to Diddly Squat and is very sensible (unlike Clarkson) and he was discussing effects of war on fertiliser
    prices, low grain prices, and the dilemma of what to do.
    Confused by the fact that many of the countries who are ahead of us in planting have apparently already reduced their own planting, so come
    2027 there could well be a major grain shortage and huge jump in prices....

    The old law of supply and demand. Far more volatility then used to be
    the case - prices down better returns to be achieved by farming Anguses
    so the next year there is a wheat shortage and magically prices rise.
    Strange that.
