Ukraine impact on feed markets & the planning and feeding implications on farm

Will and Ben are joined this week by James Bolesworth, Managing Director at CRM Agri-Commodities and Mike Bray, Partner at Kite to discuss the initial impact of the war in Ukraine on commodity markets and the implications this may have on farm feeding strategies. James explains how the markets have reacted to the initial shock and the exacerbating factors such as low stock levels on key commodities and shipping restrictions in the Black Sea. Mike describes the impact and sentiment he is seeing on farm and they discuss what to expect in the coming weeks and months if the conflict continues longer term, including potential disruption to planting and yields. Chris is on his holiday so there is no milk market report this week.
