Questions
- What harvest does feed wheat need to break even in United Kingdom?
- It depends on your costs. If yours came to GBP 900 per hectare, then at GBP 219 per tonne you’d need 5 tonnes per hectare just to cover them. That cost is only an example, so enter your own above.
- Where do the starting prices come from?
- Each one is the delivered price for November 2026 (feed wheat into Yorkshire, oilseed rape into Erith), as of 2 October 2026. It’s a starting point for United Kingdom, not a price anyone has promised you.
- Which crop should I plant?
- Add up to three crops and the calculator ranks them by profit per hectare. It also shows each one with a smaller harvest, because the crop that earns most in a good year isn’t always the safest.
