Nogger's Thought For The Day....

This one came to me in the shower this morning. Yes, I really am that sad that instead of thinking of the incredibly foxy Sarah Beeny coming round to check out my hard hat, I was idly thinking about wheat. Our massive wheat crop of 17.5 MMT or whatever we think it was in 2008, was that 17.5 MMT off the combine?

If it was then we will have unwittingly exported a sizable quantity of that up the chimney. If the entire UK crop averaged, say 18% moisture, and there was stacks of it cut in the 20's, then that's half a million tonnes of wheat that doesn't exist any more. Just wondering, no doubt somebody will email me the answer during the course of the day.
