Steve29 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Could affect you lot from Norfolk and Suffolk, unlikely to be as many peas to look after! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8497147.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Could affect you lot from Norfolk and Suffolk, unlikely to be as many peas to look after! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8497147.stm Growing peas has always been a very risky, perhaps THE most risky crop for farmers to grow and it’s not the first time Birds Eye have shafted growers. Peas are not the be all and end all of pigeon shooting either so from a pigeon shooters point of view...so what just find another crop that they’re feeding on!

motty Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 That could affect me alot as i have around 1500 acres of peas to shoot on each year. Haven't been able to get hold of the farmer as yet to check if this affects him. Hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delbert Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Peas may be a dodgy crop but then as soon as you are involved with large scale processing so are most other crops. Our Farmer for many years was a potato grower supplying primararily for processing to produce crisps.After two years of rejections on really picky reasons a % high or low on moisture colour size eyes whatever when he had trailer loads returned so faced double haulage charges he told them where to place the sage and onions. The big companies have the whip hand and they know it and are prepared to abuse producers for their own profit, loyalty and fareness don't enter into it because some other mug will always take up the slack.
