Market Report w/c Monday 4th September. It has been an extremely busy week at Dewing Grain, with the end of the harvest keeping the team on their feet. Our predictions are that the oil seed rape market is going to go up, feed wheat just keeps coming at us as there aren’t any sellers and the moulting barley market is very exciting with Norfolk samples being as good as anywhere in Norfolk. Listen now to find out what other predictions Andrew has to make.
Shifting our attention to international markets, India's recent ban on sugar exports comes as a surprise. It seems that India has faced more significant challenges than they've let on, pushing for lower food prices domestically but inadvertently raising them abroad.

Market Report for w/c Monday 14th of August. This week’s market report discusses Andrew’s advice and predictions for oil seed, barley, wheat, and more. The weather has been challenging this harvest, especially in the North, and with the end of the harvest near, there are concerns for certain crops.

The tour included spending half an hour at each farm, seeing different crops every day which does not look promising compared to UK crops.
The conversation swiftly moves over to discussions surrounding global affairs with India keeping their markets closed and still not exporting rice, the country also wants to buy 9 million tonnes of Russian wheat!

Join Andrew in today's bitesize podcast episode as the Dewing team are busy during a wet harvest. The pressure is on this week to get the crop dry and moving.
Market report week for w/c Monday 7th of August. In this week’s market report, Andrew tries to be positive considering the bad weather. He discusses his observations about the quality of crops they’ve had coming into their Cantley and Alysham stores.
Winter malting Barley has been good in general, 80% of the crop in Norfolk.
With the damper weather in the rest of the world, especially the states, the crops look like they are going to be bigger over there so the mood in the states is low. it's gone below $5 on the Corn on the deck, corn in Chicago so the sentiment is slightly bearish.
Russia is doing a deal potentially with India for 9 Million tonnes so Modi can have low food prices when it comes to his election.
There’s grain moving out of Ukraine., they’ve got a better yield than what they thought. Which is going to seep into Europe and undermine the market like it did last year.

In this week’s market report, Andrew discusses the start of August, which is usually known to be the lovely sunny month where everyone gets everything finished, but not this year.

Market Report for w/c 24th of July. In this week’s market report, Andrew & Ben discuss how tense the world is becoming, with news of Russia bombing grain facilities in Ukraine for a fourth day in a row and seizing ships, resulting in a key part of the global food chain being affected.
The price of wheat has gone up to £20, and India has banned the export of non-basmati white rice to curb domestic inflation, which is raising fears of further increases in global food prices, just days after wheat and corn prices have climbed.
In terms of the weather forecast, the rain is not stopping any time soon! The St Swithin’s folklore is proving to be correct for another year, with the forecast not looking promising, therefore causing worry within the grain trade and to farmers across the UK.
Ben discusses how volatile the rapeseed market is and expresses his concern for the quality of the crop due to bizarre hail storms which have hit rapeseed fields hard across Norfolk. This volatility has come from the heat in America, which is causing issues not only in the U.S. but across the globe.
The biggest questions of this week are “Is now the perfect selling opportunity?” and “What is Russia going to do next?”. Andrew discusses his feelings of worry, and hope and how he is feeling philosophical about the state of the current grain market, but urges grain traders, store owners, and farmers not to worry about what they can’t control.
In the farm chat, Andrew & Vince discuss future plans that they have, including possibly offering accounting services to farmers. With Vince’s expertise in assisting the agricultural trade with their accounting needs, this could be an exciting move for Dewing Grain. Tune in to find out more.

Market Report for w/c 17th July 2023. In this week’s market report, Andrew discusses his concerns for 2023’s harvest with it getting off to a miserable start.

In this week’s farm chat, Andrew and Webby soar over Norfolk’s countryside, inspecting crops from the air thanks to Keith Pigott; a local expert pilot. By inspecting from the air, Andrew & Webby are able to get an idea as to what will happen next in the grain trade market, and observe how well the harvest is getting along so far.
The first observation that Andrew and Webby have is that there does not seem to be much Winter barley, but there is a huge acreage of wheat and spring barley. Sugar beet does not look good, and rapeseed looked very hit and miss. Tune in today to find out what other observations the Dewing Grain team had.The team also discusses worries surrounding the drought in Canada and how it could affect the UK grain market if it perseveres.

In the farm chat this week, the boys are joined by an old friend of Joe’s, Giles Brian, who is an entrepreneur and an expert in conversational AI.
Most recently based down in Washington DC, Giles founded a software company. After living there for the past 5 years, he has recently made his return to his homeland of North Norfolk. Giles discusses the pros and cons of automation, with the aim of using advanced technology to “give people more time, and run things more efficiently with lower energy usage.”
They go on to debate the popular belief that computers will become sentient and suddenly take over, which he explains simply is not true. Explaining the development of Artificial Intelligence and what “The Turing Intelligence Test” is and how it is used to examine this new technology. Giles goes on to explain the advancement of generative AI which is extremely powerful and very successful.
We learn that the most popular generative AI, which is owned by Open AI has had mass funding from Microsoft, who are looking to develop this further.
They discuss the process of farming becoming automated through the use of data, following a debate of whether this should be artificial intelligence or just really well-developed machines. Giles explains how AI is not about replacing humans, it is about assisting as we still need people to make evaluations on this technology.
Later, moving on to the effect of the internet on the younger generation, negatively impacting their communications skills – a topic lots of us are passionate about.

Market Report for w/c Monday 26th June 2023. Old-crop wheat has benefitted greatly from the massive rise in new-crop prices. The team are busy emptying their stores and encouraging people that own grain in stores to move their grain.
The plan for this week’s episode was to go on a crop inspection tour, a helicopter ride where Andrew would become a news reporter for the day, looking forward to being nosy and looking at everyone's crops. Unfortunately, the weather threw up some thunderstorms, so you will all have to stay tuned for this until the second week of July.
Today, as we are recording, the market has taken a turn for the worst, President Biden has announced that he is reducing the necessity for biofuel inclusion.
Andrew ruffled a few feathers in last week’s episode where he discussed his shared opinions with Greta Thunberg…tune in to hear thoughts on more opinions that he also disagrees with.
In the farm chat, Andrew discussed the key things in the market that we need to be analysing. Zelenskyy has announced that the people should get medicines ready as Russia may be plotting an attack on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
In terms of weather, Scandinavia still needs rain and this is forecasted for the coming week which will help the malting market. Andrew goes on to discuss the UK weather in more depth. Harvest is three weeks away, so the 15th to 16th of July will be when the team expect to see the first stages of this.

Market report for the w/c Monday 19th June 2023. Unpredictable forecasts, but beautiful crops in Norfolk, nonetheless. In Northern Europe, especially Denmark is unfortunately experiencing drought problems. There is some very good news in the weather market for farmers. We are close to harvest; the market has improved. The biggest and most bullish story currently is US corn, they have had rain promised but 50% of the areas are in drought also.
In the farmchat, this week we are back with an in-house Dewing Grain podcast. Webby has just returned from Holiday and is switched on, ready for his other holiday next week. Ben starts us off by covering the current news surrounding interest rates. Next week, the Bank of England, there is an interest rate rise coming. Comparing the rise in interest rates to the 80s and it's just not the same, the scope is much more concerning. Europe has just put their inflation rates up but theirs seems to be a lot more manageable than ours. With the interest going up, is this going to affect prices? Tune in to hear the debate.
Is the UK economy in a bit of trouble? Putting up interest rates, is this going to curve inflation? We can’t believe what we are hearing, Webby is cycling into work? Greta Thunberg is sending Webby a Christmas card this year for making more environmentally friendly choices.
Congratulations to Webby and his family who are soon to be moving into their forever home!
Andrew will be attending this year as he is now on the committee as a council member for the Royal Norfolk Show for Agriculture, he will be waltzing around in his top hat this year. Andrew has had a brilliant idea this week, tune in to find out what it is.

Market report for w/c Monday 12th June 2023, what a funny old week. There is a terrible black grass problem which is making farmers rather miserable. We are receiving very hot weather over the weekend for East Anglia at last. The team are feeling frustrated with the misery of it all and trying to empty their stores. There are a whole lot of different directions the market could go in and no one knows the answer to it.
In the farm chat, we have finally got EDP local journalist Chris Hill on the Dewing Grain podcast, very proud to be a fellow winner of the Sir Timothy Colman Prize. Chris explains what a special and humbling experience it was to earn recognition as a journalist working within the agriculture community. Often reporting on the winners, Chris was stunned when he had the honour of receiving his prize, he just couldn’t quite believe it.
Chris has been with the EDP since 2007 a relatively late career change for him. Completing an aptitude exam to secure his position in the newspaper. Working for the EDP for 8 years before the agricultural position arose where he was then working as a Rural Affairs Correspondent, appreciating issues within farming from a consumer point of view to put a spin on things, making all information accessible to those outside of the industry - working to balance the impossible. The guys discuss imposter syndrome in the journalism sector and the difficulty of putting facts before opinions for journalists and the art of creating a fair argument.
Chris will be fitting tuning into the Dewing Grain podcast into his weekly schedule from this point onwards, will you be too?
Finishing the interview, we understand Chris' take on what the future of agriculture for Norfolk might look like. Smaller producers who have created their own set of values between themselves and the consumer are doing really well.

In the market report for the w/c Monday 5th June 2023, it is June but it is cold, dull & miserable with those nasty little northerly winds. The market is going to see a slightly later harvest, already a little later than last year.
It’s not all that bad, Andrew enlightens us on a positive correlation to keep an eye out for, to give us hope for the coming wheat crops. Internationally, there are issues with China where they are experiencing some late rain causing floods, impacting quality & destroying crops. In other news, information came out this week that the EU’s import of wheat is up. Wheat is being exported from Poland to America resulting in incredibly cheap prices & Spain is looking to increase their barley imports.
Andrew announces that Dewing Grain has space for any old crop wheat, if you are in need of somewhere to store yours, get in touch with our friendly team today.
In the farmchat, this week we are in for a treat with an unusual kind of episode, a LIVE recording from Andrew with guests on the recent Bressingham Dewing Social Walk.
Enlightened by more history of Andrew, guests are given a tour including the room where Andrew was born. Joined by a superstar guest who travelled over 450 miles just to attend our famous walk. Everyone is after Andrew’s knowledge about not only the industry but an explanation of the current state of wheat prices.
Tune in to this episode where the next Dewing Social Walk is announced. We will be walking around the village of Mundesley, Gimingham & Trunch on Monday 26th June at 2pm. What3words location: “feel.sunbeam.swarm”.

In the market report for the w/c Monday 29th May 2023 it’s nearly June which means time to begin preparing for harvest. Time to clear your stores out, quantify everything and start pushing that button.
In the farmchat, we take a trip down memory lane, understanding Andrew’s dreams of becoming a professional footballer which didn’t quite work out the way he had hoped, so instead he was redirected to trading which he loved, going on to forming Dewing Grain back in 2006. Inspired by his much-loved first role at Dalgety’s in Rackheath, he has been in the trade since 3rd July 1978 - Andrew remembers it like it was yesterday.
Josh moves on to questioning thoughts on technology and whether its progression over the last 30 years has helped or hindered the trading industry. Moving onto debating food standards and attitudes to food safety which the boys believe should be paramount, do you agree?
Andrew gets sentimental whilst sharing old stories from his early days in the business, tune in now you will not want to miss this one!

Market report and bitesize episode for the w/c 22nd May 2023. Andrew heads straight into discussing the misery on top of misery, discussing crop prices in the market for the week as usual. A terrible week for farming prices for those looking to sell, every market is down and all news is bearish until it isn’t.
It appears there is not much farmer participation in the market…maybe a little bit of irony going on here, tune in to find out why. There is a demand for barley since Spain has a drought & the malting barley market has life.
Andrew updates that there is an awfully large amount of wheat moving out of their future stores and next week appears to be moving just as well.

For this week’s guest originally from Wales, moving to East Anglia was quite the change. Willmott discusses how his thriving company has just marked its two-year anniversary; a farming team breaking the mould for land agents. Andrew & Jock talk about the ways of making future farming businesses resilient and that it is all about production & schemes. Willmott aims to keep encouraging the agriculture sector to keep making money through farming and remaining productive.
They go on to discuss the big threat to farming and how it is getting tougher; Jock explains ways of encouraging this generation to carry on their legacy. Andrew interprets how choosing to be a farmer for future generations is more complex because he believes they have more choice.
Andrew just knows that he would win “Grain Trader of the Year” …if only it existed!
Since we can expect to see harvest in the middle of July this year, Jock informs us on the sorts of crops we can expect to be coming our way & Andrew is calling carbon “b**s”.

In the market report we are joined by Andrew where he updates us on what’s been happening in the grain markets for the week commencing 24th April 2023. He also gives some good news for any farmers, consumers and merchants who might be listening.
In Farmchat, Volodymyr shares his story of life before fleeing to the UK to escape the Russian invasion of Ukraine and not being obliged to stay and fight the Ukrainian war due to being Georgian. Joined by his family and now living in Aylsham, Volodymyr’s wife is Ukrainian and his three young children are settled into school and speaking perfect English.
He has been working with the Dewing Grain team for the past 6 months, keeping an eye on farm stores. Andrew & Volodymyr discuss the issue of the number of rations in Georgia and the impact that this dreadful war is having on its surrounding countries.
Volodymyr suggests everyone listening should visit his beautiful home city, Tbilisi, the Capital of Georgia, and Andrew touches upon the emotional visits for Ukrainian families, finally going back to visit loved ones after such a long time.
Giving thanks to the Dewing Grain team for helping him and his family feel so happy and settled whilst living over here in the UK… We hope he isn’t going anywhere anytime soon!

This week Andrew kicks off with the market report for week commencing 7th September and gives us his insights into what the markets are doing this week.
In Farmchat Andrew interviews the brilliant Suzy from Tinshed Productions who has been producing the Dewing Grain podcast every other week since day one and is an expert at “cutting all the dodgy bits out”. Andrew asks Suzy who of the Dewing Grain team gets cut the most in editing, and they share a beer much to Suzy’s despair of drinking before lunch time. This week’s beer is Lavender Honey by Wolf Brewery (3.8%).

As the podcast turns 100, we start this week, as with our previous 99 episodes, with the Dewing Grain market report for week commencing 24th August 2020 giving Andrew’s latest insights into what the markets are doing.
In a special Farmchat to mark our 100th episode Andrew’s at Holkham to meet with Tom Coke, 8th Earl of Leicester. Recorded a couple of weeks before broadcast, Andrew and Tom reflect on the 1st Earl, Thomas Coke, who was known as an agricultural reformer. They discuss the notion of ‘100 harvests left’ and the importance of soil health and long-term strategy.
It’s appropriate that, in light of the ongoing relationship with Adnams, the discussion is washed down with Ghost Ship - both the alcohol version (4.5%) and the low alcohol option (0.5%).

In this week's market report Andrew ruminates on how harvest is nearly over and runs through the different commodities with Ben. Farmchat is very short and sombre following the very sad death of local farmer Greg Anderson on the day of recording. Andrew cancels a chat about harvest with the Dewing Grain gang and realises that many of this year's harvest stresses and strains have faded into the background as Greg's passing makes him reflect on what is important.

This week Andrew is joined by Ian, Ben and Josh to talk about harvest 2020. We start with the market report for week commencing 10th August 2020 in which we hear that there’s a lot less low nitrogen winter malting barley than planned. Webby gives us the run down on oil seed rape whilst Ben has been looking at world supply and demand issues for feed wheat.
The discussion about this strange harvest continues in Farmchat and we hear about Ben’s plans for the evening as it’s his 10th anniversary. Recorded on Friday evening, there’s a barrel of Adnams Southwold Bitter waiting at the end of a long week.

Ian sums up the oil seed rape harvest - which is in its final throws. In an unusual order, we then have a quick team beer drinking session of Jumper by Moongazer 3.9% with some promises to listeners for beer - listen up!
In Farmchat we pick up where we left off last week with Murray Ferguson with the third and final part of his interview. Murray talks about the importance of independent grain traders much to Andrew's delight, how volcanoes going off could change everything and we hear about his cresta runs.

This week in our Harvest 2020 market report Andrew has the latest views and news on the market.
Next up, is the first of a two part interview, with our oldest farmer Murray Ferguson who is on the cusp of 90 and still going strong. Andrew quizzes him on his thoughts of Covid-19 and Murray sets this current situation against the bombings he endured in the second world war as a teenager in Sheffield. He recalls VE day and several close calls.
Murray then goes on to tell us about being recruited for the secret service, which involved a cover job of working on a farm which sowed the seed for a love of farming, even after the more exciting element of the job finished after five years.
Part two of this interview will be next week.

In the market report for week commencing 13th July 2020 we get Andrew’s latest insights into what the markets are doing, as he wonders whether it will rain or shine on St Swithin’s Day.
In Farmchat Andrew is joined by Ian Deane, Health and Safety Director at Aylsham Grain Ltd. and farmer member of the store, to discuss the range of new procedures in place to keep everyone safe during harvest.
Ian farms on the coast and, with his wife, has converted barns and other properties into holiday lets and a wedding / party venue. It is, of course, an industry that has been heavily affected by Covid-19 but, with the rise of the staycation, there’s every confidence that things will pick up.
Ian drew the short straw took on the role of Health and Safety Director at Aylsham Grain and, with harvest 2020 set against the backdrop of Covid-19, the culture of health and safety is one that needs to be taken seriously.
The boys share a beer this week - It’s Redchurch Paradise Pale Ale 3.7%.
You can see Ian’s holiday accommodation and wedding venue at dairybarns.co.uk

This week we are teetering on the edge of harvest starting and you can hear the age-old excitement in Andrew's voice as he delivers the market report for week commencing the 6th July.
In Farmchat Andrew catches up with Dr Paul Everden, an old friend and fitness buddy who gives Andrew the inside track on Corona virus, how Norfolk is doing and his work specifically on old people's homes. Paul also explains the structure of Covid and how it can denature, as well as finding ways to stop it entering your body! They wonder if we have become immune to the fear of Covid-19, they talk 2nd waves, herd immunity and PPE.
Perhaps appropriately after all this Andrew has a drink of beer with Ian and opens up a bottle of Life or Death an IPA from Hebden Bridge! They also try Baby-faced Assassin by the Roosters Brewing Co and discuss the take over of the Warburton's contract by Frontier.

We kick off this week's episode in our usual fashion with the market report for week commencing 22nd June.
In Farmchat - Andrew is flying solo to begin with and giving one of his education pieces. Pre-harvest he is covering trust and contracts between traders and customers and handshakes...or at least virtual handshakes for now! "So what could possibly go wrong?" is his main question and he has set out a few issues that can occur when selling grain and how to avoid these pitfalls.
At the end it is time for a beer so he has twisted Josh's arm to join him. Josh drinks Hazey Daze 4.6% and Andrew is drinking Caught by the Fuzz 5%.
Andrew talks about this video in the EDP called plant to pint in this week's podcast - check it out: https://www.edp24.co.uk/business/farming/malting-barley-crop-trials-at-morley-farms-1-6706224

In Farmchat Andrew is joined by youngest son Henry, who got out of London shortly before lockdown and has been enjoying life in Norfolk for the last 3 months. The pros and cons of city life vs country living are discussed and Henry talks about the burgeoning agritech industry, revealing a teaser of a mystery project that he and Andrew have been working on.

We start with a detailed analysis from Andrew in the Dewing Grain market report for week commencing 8th June 2020.
In Farmchat Andrew is very excited to finally have a guest - Russell Corfield commercial director of Aylsham Growers pops in for a socially distanced catch up.
They talk all things peas and Andrew discovers what a speedy pea is and where they all go to be frozen. They can't stay away from the subject of weather for too long and the excitement of rain. We hear about the humble dwarf bean and some other crops that Russell is trialing with his co-operative.
Before long we are back to the Coronavirus and how you go about organising a 24 hour harvesting gang without any social contact - bring your own mug!
No beer today but plenty of banter.

We start as always with Andrew and the Dewing Grain market report for week commencing 25th May 2020.
In Farmchat Andrew, Ian and Josh are excited to have received a letter from Simon in Yorkshire which sparks a conversation on futures. Soon they are back on to the old favourite subject of the weather, possibility of droughts which have already started, how crops are looking and when harvest might be. They discuss the impact of no agricultural events this year and quickly drown their sorrows in beer whilst discussing the movement of Londoners and how they might be buying up Norfolk houses soon.
Our beers this week - yes beers as they have one each - are Tribute from St Austell's brewery 4.2% and Yankee Original Pale Ale 4.3% from Yorkshire Rooster's Brewery and Hiver the honey beer 4.5%.

We start as always with Andrew and the Dewing Grain market report for week commencing 18th May 2020.
In Farmchat Andrew Ben and Joe have an impassioned discussion about the Agricultural Bill which was voted through in Parliament without the amendment to protect UK farmers from low-standard food imports. Described by Andrew as “a terrible moment for UK farming”, this is an issue we’ve had previously on the podcast. Ben gives us a history lesson on the Corn Laws (1815-1846) and the boys consider the future of food security if we become dependent upon imports from countries ruled by the likes of Bolsonaro and Putin.
Our beer this week is a local one: Wally’s Revenge 4% from The Why Not Brewery in Norwich. It goes down well and prompts an anecdote from Andrew about a boys’ jolly in Magaluf back in the day.

We set off this new episode with our usual market report from Andrew. Followed by a relaxed chat between Andrew and Webby covering a myriad of subjects - crop trials, milling wheat and some bread making from both these baker boys followed by an admittance of starting to enjoy gardening from Webby - he really is becoming like a proper Dad now!
Andrew gets an opportunity to hark back to the days when he went to a music concert back in the 70s and they chat about VE day and whose who from Dad's army in the Dewing office.
They also talk about harvest and when that might start and also about when the pubs might open...they are very relieved to have a spot of beer and enjoy Bitter and Twisted by Harviestoun Brewery 4.2% which goes down very nicely.

In the Dewing Grain market report for week commencing 4th May 2020 Andrew talks about the reduction in demand from the wholesale market as lockdown continues.
In Farmchat Andrew is joined by Rob Melton, Manager at Aylsham Grain Store. As Rob approaches his seventh harvest at Aylsham, he explains what goes into managing the storage at Dewing Grain and how it differs from farm storage.
From the initial tests carried out on the bridge, to the temperature probes and stringent monitoring, the aim is always to ensure that the grain remains top quality so that it can be delivered to the malsters without any problems or claims, thereby achieving the malting grade for as many tonnes as possible for the store members.
Andrew reminisces about grain store keepers from years gone by and we hear about the annual award for the spillage idiot.
There’s a welcome return to our regular beer slot, a reminder of what it used to be like when you could have a drink with friends. This week it’s Friday IPA 6.5% by And Union in Bavaria.

Andrew kicks off this week’s podcast with the Dewing Grain market report for week commencing 27th April 2020.
In Farmchat Andrew is back with Webby and he wastes no time in getting to the most important question over nappies - some trauma is revealed. Trump is next to be taken down a peg or two with his recent solutions to Covid-19 - why didn't we all realise we just needed to drink some disinfectant or stand under some UV light?!! Then they move on to the Aldborough vigilantes...should Londoners come to their second homes?
Andrew and Webby discuss the oil price drop and the implications this may have, plus they also discuss storage and will Norfolk be full? Andrew has a funny turn and starts being nice to millers and wondering if there is something pleasant to say to Londoners...
Lastly, a big shout out to Ben’s wife Sarah who, with colleagues, is still producing visors for healthcare workers.

We kick off this week’s podcast with the Dewing Grain market report for week commencing 20th April 2020 in which Andrew and Ben discuss the volatility of the market, Putin, drought and the drop in demand.
In Farmchat Andrew, Ben and Joe discuss market conditions as lockdown continues. First, a big shout out to Ben’s wife Sarah who, with colleagues, has produced over 2,000 visors for healthcare workers. The boys talk about the shortages of PPE, the banks, Trump’s tantrums, Putin and commodities. There’s a quick game of fantasy rugby with Trump and Putin and we yearn for the simpler days when all we had to contend with was Brexit. We round things off with conspiracy theories, Andrew’s pub crawl around the garden and a hotly-awaited update on Webby’s nappy changing prowess. Spoiler alert: he still hasn’t done one.

This week we have the usual market report from Andrew for week commencing Tuesday 14th April. We are then playing an interview we recorded just before the lockdown in March, which we have been keen to put out for a while. Andrew and Joe chat with David Hoyles who farms in the Long Sutton area of Lincolnshire. He explains how the weather has impacted him this last year, he talks about growing mustard and how renewable energy is one of his major crops. They get on the carbon debate again and the benefits of working in groups and cooperatives for sharing information and marketing.
We hear about what the amazing soils around David can yield and then they crack into the beer after discussing the sloe gin which has already been consumed in a recent recording!
This week they are drinking Moongazer Bouchart 4.9% whilst Andrew retells a story of drinking mild.

Working from home, Andrew's special guests this week are wife Tessa and daughters Lily and Molly, all of whom are delighted to be sharing the household chores and one phone line. Andrew has been struck by the affliction affecting middle-aged housebound men up and down the country - bread-making - whilst Tessa has taken on the unenviable task of home-schooling. If you have kids and you're working from home then you'll relate to this one.

We kick off with the Dewing Grain market report from Andrew for week commencing 30th March 2020.
In Farmchat, Andrew decides to keep the podcasts 'in house' for now as there is so much to talk about and he prefers talking face to face rather than remote recordings. So he is joined by Webby and Josh for an update on Webby's nappy changing activities...but gets to hear more about his shaven head.
They discuss working from home and some of the stresses that they can see emerging and discuss the merits or lack of them of having the radio on whilst you work. Other questions that they muse include: Does life still have meaning without sport? How will life change after Corona? Will more people shop online in future or will people support local farm and village shops more?
How will work change - will we work from home more? Will 9am house parties in fancy dress become a thing?

The Dewing Grain market report for week commencing 23rd March 2020 is presented this week by Andrew, Ian, Ben and Joe who offer their combined thoughts on the unprecedented times we’re living in.
In Farmchat, we finally get the lowdown on how Webby has taken to fatherhood. The boys debate the UK’s reaction to the pandemic compared to other countries and wonder whether we will reach a point where we have soldiers on the streets. They discuss the role of the farmer and the food sector and how communities can help each other. As well as the serious stuff, they ask the really pressing questions of the day: Why are there so many melons left in the supermarkets and just when will Webby change his first nappy?
Our drink this week is a sloe gin brought in by David Hoyle of G H Hoyles. Catch his interview with Andrew in a future episode.

In Farmchat Andrew and Ben talk with Lottie Hill, environmental consultant at Brown and Co. Lottie explains the latest on carbon trading and the opportunities around the woodland carbon guarantee and reverse auctions - a complicated new opportunity for land owners probably already interested in planting trees. Lottie explains the new ELMS due to start in 2024 and how Brown and Co are involved in a testing and trial pilot to see carbon sequestration on commercial farms.
They give Brewdog Clockwork Tangerine 4.5% a taste and Ben shows his knowledge of externalities...

In Farmchat Andrew catches up with Caroline Drummond, Chief Executive of LEAF - Linking Environment and Farming - fresh from the Holkham Farming Conference. LEAF have various initiatives to include farming in the curriculum, working directly with teachers and through Farmer Time, whereby farmers use FaceTime or Skype to chat directly with schoolchildren and bring farming into different parts of the curriculum.
The discussion moves on to the value of carbon and the emerging markets, being part of the health agenda, the Food Strategy (the first for 75 years) and how farmers are expected to deliver more for the same price. Caroline emphasises the importance of making the case for farming - the benefits it brings to the economy, to social infrastructure, to mental health - and engaging consumers through initiatives such as Open Farm Sunday (this year on 7th June).
Farmers interested in finding out more about Farmer Time or any of the initiatives mentioned in this episode can contact LEAF on 024 76 413911 or at education@leafuk.org

The Dewing Grain market report for week commencing 2nd March 2020 gives you Andrew’s latest insights into all that’s going on in the markets, including the ongoing impact of the coronavirus.
In Farmchat Andrew catches up with old school friend Roger Jones who, when he managed to show up, was at Acle Secondary Modern with Andrew in the 70s. Roger is the 4th generation of his family to farm at South Walsham and the conversation soon turns to Andrew’s favourite subject of coastal erosion, the response to which Roger describes as “fiddling while Rome burns”. Roger farms his 120 acres of arable land, as well as 200 acres of contract farming and ‘dodges about’ with other work. This is feasible by keeping overheads low and doing as much of the work as possible himself. The smaller farmer may be more about the lifestyle and enjoying the process but are their days numbered?
Our beer this week is another one sent in by a listener - a trend we’re growing to love. It’s Wellington Bomber Porter 5% by Glebe Farm Foods and gets a resounding thumbs up.

We start with Andrew and the Dewing Grain market report for week commencing 17th February 2020 and his particular focus is on barley this week - although all crops are covered.
In Farmchat, Andrew and Webby are chewing the cud together and drinking a beer that has been sent in by an avid listener this week - they have an on farm brewery called Great Newsome and the beer they are drinking this week is Sleck Dust - which slips down very nicely and fuels some chat about the markets. They discuss the wheat price and how to get farmers selling. The two lotharios aka Andrew and Webby also touch on valentines and who got a card - they try to pretend they aren't old romantics at heart - but there's plenty of love to go round.

In Farmchat, Andrew meets up again with Lizzie Emmett - Upper Wensum Cluster Farm Advisor, to chat about a myriad of other issues that they didn't manage to cover in Ep 65 at the end of last year.

They move on to cover cropping and the social benefits of being part of a farm group like the Upper Wensum Cluster. Lizzie finishes with some of her hopes and visions for the future with the end of BPS and hopefully seamlessly moving in to ELM (Environmental Land Management) - and it turns out don't even get Andrew started on turning arable land to scrub...

In Farmchat, Andrew and Webby are joined by Jake Fiennes, general manager of conservation at Holkham.

He has some convincing arguments in favour of British beef farming - urging people not to associate American grain fed bovine with grass-fed beef and making the point that grass is a better carbon sink that a conifer forest. Jake is campaigning for a new award at the farmers weekly. Eventually they break open the beer- Redwell West Coast Pale Ale as Jake agrees to record a second part which will be out soon.

This week Andrew is in London interviewing Sam Watson Jones from the Small Robot Company - an agri-tech start-up focused on revolutionising the way that technology is used to farm. Sam is a fourth generation farmer, inspired by the work of Simon Blackmore in the National Centre for Precision Farming at Harper Adams and his vision for replacing much of the work done by tractors in fields with a series of high accurate, smart, lightweight robots. Following interviews with farmers the small team are focused on efficiently building an AI driven robotic service where three robots named Tom, Dick and Harry are out in the field collecting data and individually spraying weeds etc., whilst back at the farm, running the show, is Wilma. Wilma uses precise, up-to-date data from Tom and converts it into crop care instructions that, with the farmer's approval, are implemented by Dick and Harry. In part one of this two-parter, Sam explains why he thinks this is the future of farming, a greener solution which uses the unique convergence of technologies from more efficient batteries to AI and satellite tracking systems. The Dewing Grain market report for week commencing 07/01/2019 gives you Andrew's latest insights into the markets and, as it's January, in Farmchat Andrew and Webby are sticking to the water as they discuss merchants' dreams of what they would like farmer's New Year's resolutions to be.

In part two of Andrew's interview with Sam Watson Jones of the Small Robot Company, Sam paints a picture of the future where farmers use the small precision robots on their farm as a service, allowing them to get on with other elements of farming and diversification better suited to their skills. He explains in more detail the potential he sees in these robots even potentially harvesting crops eventually and encourages Andrew not to see the farm in fields any more but down to square cms where you might see several different crops and environmental schemes in one field. Andrew is left musing as to whether, when Sam gets round to making an AI grain trading robot, he could name it after him? The Dewing Grain market report for week commencing 14/01/2019 gives you Andrew's latest insights into the markets and, continuing with Dry January, Andrew and Webby sample a drop of Aylsham tap water as they talk about service vs front end price in Farmchart.

This week Andrew is over at AF (formerly Anglian Famers) to meet with CEO Jon Duffy. They talk about AF, how his first two years there have been and the excitement of being able to share £1million with its 3,500 shareholders this year. With Jon Duffy having formerly been business director for Frontier, Andrew sees it as very opportune to ask him about Frontier taking over the selling of the grain for the Fengrain store and subsequent tonnage that trades within it and ask whether Frontier are getting too powerful? They talk about the AF conference that is coming up and Jon slides in that there are still some tickets available. As usual, we bring you Andrew's latest insights into the market in the Dewing Grain market report for the week commencing 21/01/2019. In Farmchat, over a bottle of Badoit sparkling mineral water (which they can't pronounce), Andrew and Webby confess to a slight falling off the wagon during Dry January as they continue the discussion around the implications of Frontier taking on the grain marketing of Fengrain.

This week Andrew and producer Claire review their recent visit to the Norfolk Farming Conference organised by AF. They realise their age and cynicism and so have interviewed a few young guns from the conference to give a more balanced view. Overall, however, they are very complimentary of a fascinating conference and a good opportunity to catch up with others. They test out their plan for redirecting money to a PR company to promote the good practices of British farmers effectively, revel in Minette Batters' direct approach and reel from Sir John Beddington's climate change slides. They also discuss Andrew Fearne's lively contribution to the conference and realise that food provenance certainly isn't everyone's priority when it comes to choices in the supermarket. Ian Webster present the market report for week commencing 18th February 2019 and in Farmchat Webby discusses the Six Nations with Dewings trader and former professional rugby player Joe Beardshaw.

This week producer Claire heads down to the John Innes Centre to meet Dr Laura Dixon. She has uncovered new evidence about the agriculturally important process of vernalisation in a development that could help farmers deal with financially damaging weather fluctuations. Vernalisation is the process by which plants require a prolonged exposure to cold temperature before they transition from the vegetative state to flower. Laura explains that they have discovered vernalisation is influenced by warm conditions as well as cold, and a much wider temperature range than previously thought.

In this week's feature producer Claire went down to the John Innes Centre to meet up with Brande Wulff to hear about his latest discovery - speed cloning. This new technique is about recruiting resistance genes from wild relatives of crops to make modern crops more resistant to disease and less reliant on pesticides. Claire and Brande manage to find an analogy that involves a donkey's whiskers and a race horse that enables Claire to get her head round this tricky technology that will mean researchers can use laboratory techniques to clone the genes and introduce them into elite varieties of domestic crops to protect them against pathogens and pests such as rusts, powdery mildew and Hessian fly. Brande even gives his take on how Brexit might impact the British wheat supply and how his science might be able to help us. As Andrew's away, the market report for week commencing 1st April 2019 is presented by Josh and in Farmchat Josh and Ben consider the striking similarities between some of our MPs and famous football managers.
